Towing and recovery
Proceed as follows:
1. Release the bottom edge of the cover (A)
with a screwdriver or a coin.
2. Screw in the towing eye (B).
3. Screw the eye securely into place right up
to the flange (C). You can use a wheel
wrench.
•
After use, unscrew the towing eye and refit
the cover.
IMPORTANT
On certain cars with fitted towbar the towing
eye cannot be secured in the rear mounting.
In which case, secure the tow rope in the
towbar. For this reason, it is advisable to
always store the detachable towbar in the
car.

•
An all-wheel drive car (AWD) with raised

towed further than 50 km.

recovery service for recovery assistance.
