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 link►.
Firmly press the cap inwards
Fig. 302►.
The cover cap will be released from the bumper.
Screw the towline anchorage into the screw connection as far as it will go 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.
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.
