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 top edge of the cap inwards Fig. 338►. The cover cap will be released from the bumper.
Screw the towline anchorage into the screw connection as far as it will go Fig. 339► 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.
