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►
.
Press the cover cap briefly but firmly downwards -1-/inwards -2- -arrow-, detach it from the bumper and take it out Fig. 341►
.
Screw the towline anchorage into the screw connection as far as it will go Fig. 342►
and tighten it with the box spanner.
Put the towline anchorage back in the tool kit after use.
Vehicles with towing bracket*
Swivel out the towing bracket link►
.
Attach the tow-bar or the tow-rope to the towing bracket.
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.
