- Carefully lever the cover out to the rear. You may need to use some force
to do this. Leave the cover hanging down.

and tighten as far as possible . Use a suitable object to screw the towing
eye fully and securely into the mounting.

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.
