Towing and recovery
Towing eye
Use the towing eye if the car needs to be towed
on the road. The towing eye is attached in the
recess on the right-hand side of the front or
06
rear bumper.
Fitting the towing eye
Take out the towing eye (1) that is stored in
the bag behind the ski hatch or together
with the spare wheel.
Release the cover on the bumper by press-
ing on the marking on the lower edge of the
cover.

Screw in the towing eye firmly, right in up
to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to
tighten the towing eye.
•
After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it to its place.
•
Refit the cover on the bumper.
IMPORTANT
The towing eye is only designed for towing
on roads, not for pulling the car unstuck or
out of a ditch. Call a recovery service for
recovery assistance.
NOTE
On certain cars with fitted towbar the towing
eye cannot be secured in the rear mounting.
In which case, secure the tow rope in the
towbar.
For this reason it is advisable to store the
towbar's towball in the car, see page 161.
