The towing eye is screwed into a threaded

of the bumper, front or rear.
06
Fitting the towing eye
Take out the towing eye (1) that is stored in
the puncture repair kit's packaging* behind
the ski hatch or together with the spare
wheel.
The cover for the towing eye's attachment
point is available in two variants which
must be opened in different ways:
*
170
Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
•
Open the variant with a recess using a
coin or similar inserted in the recess,
turning it outwards. Then turn out the
cover completely and remove it.
•
The second variant has a marking along
one side or in a corner: Press the mark-
ing with a finger and fold out the oppo-
site side/corner at the same time using
a coin or similar - the cover turns around
its axis and can then be removed.
Screw the towing eye right in up to its
flange. Turn in the towing eye firmly e.g.
using the wheel wrench.
After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it to its place.
Finish by refitting the cover onto 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.
