The towing eye located under the rear bumper on the driver's side is used for securing the vehicle during transport, not for towing other vehicles.

It may be used as a towing eye only when the vehicle must be towed by another vehicle in an emergency, e.g., if the vehicle gets stuck in a snowdrift. However, there is a risk of damaging the bumper.

CAUTION

If the towing eye is used in such an emergency, observe the following instructions to avoid damaging the towing eye or the vehicle body.

  • Pull the vehicle straight back so that no lateral load is applied.
  • There is a risk of damaging the bumper when using this component as a towing eye.
  • When using a metal chain or steel cable, wrap them with a cloth around the attachment area.

Direct contact of a metal chain or steel cable with the bumper may scratch or damage the bumper.
