Towing eyelet

The screw-in towing eyelet is stored in

vehicle. It should not be used to pull a
vehicle out of deep snow, mud, sand,
etc.

Always observe all applicable towing
laws and regulations.

Access to tow sockets

Press out the cover panel with a screw-

Use only the towing eyelet sup-

in firmly until it stops. Use the towing
eyelet for towing on paved roads only. If
you do not follow these instructions, the
towing eyelet could be torn out and
vehicle damage could occur.
Never attach tie-down hooks, chains,
straps, or tow hooks to tie rods, control
arms, or any other part of the vehicle
suspension, as severe damage to these
components will occur, possibly lead-
ing to accidents.
