TOWING POINTS
!
WARNING:
Avoid body contact with a hot exhaust
pipe when fitting any equipment to the
rear towing points.
Caution:
• The towing eye is not suitable for
solid bar towing.
• Care must be taken to avoid
damaging the bumpers and front
apron.
A screw-in front towing eye is provided in
the luggage compartment with the jack.
The towing eye has a left-hand thread and
must be screwed in a counter-clockwise
direction when fitting.
The front towing point is located behind a
plastic cover on the left-hand side of the
vehicle (as viewed from the front).
1. To access the towing point, press the
plastic cover on the top to unclip.
Remove the cover.
2. Screw the towing eye into the vehicle,
right up to the shoulder.
3. The rear tie-down point is in the centre
of the vehicle to the rear of the
exhaust silencer.
Use this point only when the vehicle is
to be towed rearwards on straight
level ground for the least amount of
distance possible or loading onto a
recovery vehicle.
