Towing eye

Use the towing eye if the car needs to be
towed on the road. The towing eye is
attached in the recess on the right-hand side
of the front or rear bumper. To fit the towing
eye:
– Take out the towing eye. This is stored
under the floor hatch in the cargo area.
– Release the bottom edge of the cover on
the bumper with a screwdriver or coin.
– Screw in the towing eye properly, right up
to the flange. Use the wheel wrench to
tighten the towing eye.
– After use, unscrew the towing eye and
return it in the cargo area. Refit the cover
on the bumper.

Important!
The towing eye is only designed for
towing on roads, not for pulling the car
unstuck or out of a ditch. Call a recovery
service for assistance.
