- Fig. 1 Rear bumper: Fitting the towline anchorage
Vehicles with towline anchorage
Vehicles which do not have a factory-fitted towing bracket* have a connection for a towline anchorage on the right side of the rear bumper.
Take the towline anchorage out of the vehicle's tool kit.
Firmly press the lower part of the cap inwards Fig. 1. The cover cap will be released from the bumper.
Screw the towline anchorage firmly all the way into the screw connection.
Vehicles with towing bracket*
Fit the towing bracket.
Attach the tow-bar or the tow-rope to the towing bracket.
After use, unscrew the towline anchorage and put it back in the toolbox. Replace the cap in the screw connection. The towline anchorage or towing bracket should always be kept in the vehicle.
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!
- If your car has a towing bracket, please use only special tow-bars with suitable attachments (i.e. tow-bars which are specially designed for use with towing brackets) to avoid damage to the coupling equipment.
- If your car has a towing bracket and you wish to use a tow-rope, please make sure that the tow-rope is suitable for your vehicle - risk of accident!
