Attaching the towing eye
Use the towing eye to attach a winch wire when towing.
On the right-hand side of the car, the towing eye is screwed into a threaded socket behind a cover located on the front and rear bumpers.
Important
Be sure to read about towing and its limitations before you start.
Fetch the towing eye so you have it at hand.

To attach in the front: Remove the cover by pushing the middle of the left-hand side edge. The cover pivots around its centre line and can then be removed.

To attach in the rear: Remove the cover by pushing its top edge. Fold it out entirely and take it off.
Screw the towing eye all the way into the socket.
Important
It is important that the towing eye is firmly screwed into place. Putting something through the towing eye, such as a wheel wrench, can give extra leverage.
After you're done, remember to remove the towing eye again and return it to its storage location.
