threaded hole.

⇒ page 232.

inwards -arrow- and remove the cover by levering on the left
side ⇒ Fig. 129.
– Screw the towline anchorage into the screw connection as far as
it will go ⇒ Fig. 130 and tighten with the wheel brace.
After use, unscrew the towline anchorage and put it back in the vehicle tool
kit. Replace the cover on 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).
● If your car has a towing bracket, only use special towing ropes. Risk
of accident!
CAUTION
In vehicles fitted with a towing bracket, only use special tow bars to prevent
damage to the ball joint. These tow bars have been specially approved for
use with towing brackets.
Note
If the vehicle is fitted with a towing hook, the ball must be fitted in it when
towing the vehicle.
