Towing eyelet

When used, the towing eyelet should always
be securing attached.
Attaching the towing eyelet
There are two different types of covers
over the openings for the towing eyelet
and they have to be opened differently.
•
If the cover has a notch, insert a coin,
etc., into the notch and pry open the
edge of the cover. Open the cover
completely and remove it.
•
If the cover has a mark along one edge
or in a corner, press the mark while
prying out the opposite side/corner
using a coin, etc. Open the cover and
remove it.
Screw the towing eyelet in place, first by
hand and then using the tire iron until it is
securely in place.
After the vehicle has been towed, the eyelet
should be removed and returned to its stor-
age location.
Press the cover for the attachment point back
into position.
