On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, there is no mount for the screw-
in towing eye behind the cap.
Use the built-in detachable ball rod for towing
Towing the vehicle using the towing device is a viable alternative solution to us-
ing the towing eye.
If the towing device is removed completely, it must be replaced with the standard
reinforcement of the rear bumper which is part of the mount for the towing eye.
If this procedure is not observed, the vehicle may not meet the national legal pro-
visions.
CAUTION
The detachable ball rod and/or the vehicle can be damaged if an unsuitable tow
bar is used.
Note
The detachable ball rod must always be in the vehicle so that it can be used for
towing, if necessary.
