NOTE
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 store a
detachable towbar towball in the car.

Note that the car must always be towed with
the wheels rolling forward.
•
An all-wheel drive car (AWD) with raised
front suspension must not be towed at
speeds above 70 km/h. It should not be
towed further than 50 km.
WARNING
The towing eye is only designed for towing
on roads - not for recovering the car. Call a
recovery service for recovery assistance.
