ings

that can be pushed through the eye.
After unscrewing the towing eye, put the cap on and press into place. The cap
must engage firmly.

206, Vehicles a towing device.
Use the detachable ball rod for towing. For installing the detachable ball rod, see
the instructions manual for the towing device.
Towing the vehicle using the towing device is a viable alternative solution to us-
ing the towing eye.
If the towing device is removed completely, it must be replaced with the standard
reinforcement of the rear bumper which is part of the mount for the towing eye.
If this procedure is not observed, the vehicle may not meet the national legal pro-
visions.
CAUTION
The detachable ball rod and the vehicle can be damaged if an unsuitable tow bar
is used.
Note
The detachable ball rod must always be in the vehicle so that it can be used for
towing, if necessary.
