The towing eyes are made from a special material
with higher strength values. Only use the original
towing eyes.
You will need a second towing eye in order to lift
the vehicle at the front.
The person towing away the vehicle should bring
one with them or you can purchase one at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The vehicle can thus be raised and towed away.
Vehicles with fittings for front attachments:
the threaded hole is not suitable for towing eyes.
Do not use towing eyes for tow-starting and tow‐
ing away. Use the front coupling jaw for tow-
starting and towing away the vehicle.
Rear towing coupling
Use the rear towing coupling for manoeuvring,
tow-starting and towing away.
