TOW EYES
If the vehicle has been in an accident or has
broken down, a tow eye is provided in the
tools container located inside the luggage
compartment for vehicle towing. There are
two locations on the front bumper available
for Tow Eye installation, and if equipped,
one in the rear on the passenger side. Towing
is meant only for short distances on a paved
road surface.
Proceed as follows to use the tow eye:
1. Unhook the cap on the front (left or right
side) or rear bumper, pushing on the
upper part.

3. Tighten the vehicle's tow eye in place
(about 11 turns).

The largest work angle of a tow cable to fix on
the tow hook must not exceed 15°.
