Fitting and removing the towing eye

Use the towing eye when towing. The towing eye is screwed into a threaded socket behind a cover on the right-hand side of the bumper, front or rear.

If the car is equipped with a towbar, there is no rear mounting for a towing eye.

Fitting the towing eye

Take out the towing eye, which can be found in the foam block in the front cargo area.

Front: Remove the cover – push on the cover.

The cover pivots around its centre line and can then be removed.

Rear: Remove the cover – use a coin, key or similar to prise out the cover.

Fold out the cover entirely and take it off.

Screw in the towing eye until it reaches its end stop.

Screw the eye in firmly. For example, thread through the wheel bolt wrench and use it as a lever.

It is important that the towing eye is firmly screwed into place - right in until it stops.

Unscrew and remove the towing eye after use and return it to the foam block.

Finish by refitting the cover onto the bumper.
