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 with the box spanner.

Vehicles with towing bracket*
The removable ball joint must be attached before you can use the towing bracket.
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!
- 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!
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.
