Towing for Recovery
Towing Hook
DO NOT tow the vehicle with any
of the driving wheels in contact
with the road surface, this will
avoid electric drive transmission
damage. When it is necessary
to temporarily push or tow the
vehicle from a dangerous situation
or onto the transporter, the speed
must remain below 5km/h and be
completed within 3 minutes.
When pushing or towing the
vehicle for temporary situation,
the driver's side seat belt should
be inserted into the lock and
maintained in the inserted state,
and then place the electric drive
transmission in Neutral in order
to release the EPB, otherwise the
vehicle may be damaged.
DO NOT use a tow rope that is
twisted - or the towing hook may
be unscrewed.

Your car is equipped with 2 towing eyes
(located at the front and the rear of the
vehicle), which are used for fitting the towing
hook. The towing hook is placed beneath
the loadspace floor. To fit the towing hook,
remove the small cover set into the bumper,
first press one end of the small cover plate,
then open the small cover plate after the
other end is lifted, then screw in the towing
hook via the small hole into the threaded hole
in the bumper beam (see illustration). Ensure
the towing hook is fully tightened!
Note: The towing eye cover may be
secured to the bumper by a plastic cord.
Both towing points are intended for use by
qualified recovery specialists to assist in the
recovery of your car when a breakdown or
accident occur. They are not designed for
towing other vehicles, and must NEVER be
used to tow a trailer or caravan. The vehicle
can be towed using a tow rope but a towing
bar is recommended.
