Fitting the towing eye at the rear (vehicles without factory-fitted towing bracket )
- Take the towing eye and screwdriver out of the tool set in the luggage compartment .
- Insert the flat blade of the screwdriver into the slot between the cover and the bumper or into the side slot.
- Carefully lever the cover out to the rear. You may need to use some force to do this. Leave the cover hanging down.
- Turn the towing eye anti-clockwise into the threaded hole and tighten as far as possible . Use a suitable object to screw the towing eye fully and securely into the mounting.
- When you have finished towing, turn the towing eye clockwise to remove it and fit the cover.
NOTICE
- The towing eye must always be screwed firmly into the mounting. The towing eye could otherwise be ripped out of the mounting when the vehicle is towing/being towed.
- Vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket must use only tow-bars that are specially designed for fitting to a ball coupling. If you use an unsuitable tow-bar the ball coupling and the vehicle could be damaged. Use a tow-rope instead.
