Vehicles with towline anchorage
On vehicles which do not have a factory-fitted towing bracket*, a screw connection is located behind a cover cap on the right side of the rear bumper.
Take the towline anchorage out of the vehicle tool kit ►Link.
To remove the cover cap from the bumper, press it in at the top -arrow- and pull it out at the bottom Fig. 1.
Screw the towline anchorage into the screw connection as far as it will go Fig. 2 and tighten it with the box spanner.
Put the towline anchorage back in the tool kit after use.
Vehicles with towing bracket*
The removable ball joint must be attached before you can use the towing bracket ►Link.
Insert the ball joint ►Link.
Attach the tow-bar or the tow-rope to the ball joint.
On some models, the shape of the cap can vary.
Vehicles which have a factory-fitted towing bracket* do not have a screw connection at the rear for the towline anchorage.
WARNING!
If the towline anchorage is not screwed in as far as the stop, there is a risk of the screw connection shearing off during towing - risk of accident!
Caution!
To avoid damaging the towing bracket*, only use tow-bars with suitable attachments. If a tow-bar is not available, a tow-rope may be used.
