To consider before using the towing eyelet
•
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may
be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck. The vehicle's position and ground
clearance determines if this is possible.
•
If the incline of the tow truck is too steep or
if the ground clearance under the vehicle is
insufficient, attempting to pull it up using the
towing eyelet may result in damage.
•
If necessary, lift the vehicle using the tow
truck's lifting device instead of using the
towing eyelet.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow
truck when the vehicle is lifted onto the bed
of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for towing
on roads, and must not be used to pull vehi-
cles from ditches or any similar purpose
involving severe strain. Call a tow truck for
professional assistance.
Removing the towing eyelet
–
Unscrew the towing eyelet after use and
return it to its storage location in the foam
block.
Replace the cover on the bumper.
