Towing Eye

~1min read

Always carry the removable towing eye with you. Screw the eye into the threaded sockets provided at the front and rear of the vehicle.

The towing eye is located in the tool kit in the luggage compartment on the right, under the cover.

To avoid damage to the towing eye and the vehicle, observe the following rules: when towing, use only the standard towing eye. Screw it into the socket until it stops. Use the towing eye only for towing on paved roads. The towing eye is not designed for lateral loads (for example, the vehicle must not be lifted by the towing eye).
