The front towline anchorage is only mounted if the vehicle has to be towed.

Front bumper: Cover cap

Front bumper: Fitting the towing eye

The screw connection for the towline anchorage is located behind a cover cap on the right side of the front bumper.

– Take the towline anchorage out of the vehicle's tool kit.
– To detach the cover cap from the bumper, firmly press the lower part of the cap inwards to release it ⇒ fig. 280.
– Screw the towline anchorage firmly all the way into the screw connection ⇒ fig. 281.

After use, unscrew the towline anchorage and put it back in the toolbox. Replace the cap in the bumper. The towline anchorage should always be kept in the vehicle.

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 (accident risk).
