Emergency towing
Towing eyelet
The towing eyelet is located under the floor of the trunk, with the spare tire. This eyelet must be screwed into the
positions provided on the right sides of either the front or rear bumper (see illustration).
NOTE
On certain models equipped with a trailer hitch, the towing eyelet cannot be screwed into the hole in the rear
bumper. The towing rope should be attached to the trailer hitch instead. For this reason, the detachable section of the
trailer hitch should be safely stowed in the vehicle at all times.
Attaching the towing eyelet
1. Use a coin to pry open the lower edge of the cover.
2. Screw the towing eyelet in place, first by hand and then using the tire iron until it is securely in place.
After the vehicle has been towed, the eyelet should be removed and returned to its storage location.
Press the cover for the attachment point back into position.
