Installing towing eye bolt
!
Towing of the vehicle should only be done
using the towing eye. Never attach tow cable,
tow rope or tow rod to vehicle chassis, frame or
suspension parts.
Depending on whether you are towing a
vehicle or you are being towed, the towing

holes which are located behind covers on
the right-hand side of each bumper.

the ground, note the following:
With the automatic central locking activated and
the ignition in position 2 (୴ page 39), the vehicle
doors lock if the left front wheel is turning at a
speed of approx. 9 mph (15 km/h) or above.
