Attention.
- Towing eyes are designed for use in emergency situations (for example, to pull out a stuck car).
- When using a towing eye, always ensure that the cable or chain is directed along the longitudinal axis of the eye. Do not apply lateral forces to the towing eyes.
Note: When towing or recovering your vehicle, wrap a soft cloth around the end of the towing rope or chain that is adjacent to the towing eye. This will prevent damage to the vehicle's bumper.
1. Remove the towing eye, jack handle extension and wheel lug wrench from the luggage compartment.
2. To avoid damaging the paintwork of the bumper, wrap the end of the extension or flat-head screwdriver with a soft cloth and open the plug located on the front bumper.

Caution: Do not apply excessive force to the plug as this may damage the plug or scratch the paintwork of the bumper.
Note: Remove the plug completely and put it in a safe place to avoid losing it.
3. Screw in and tighten the towing eye securely using the wheel nut wrench.

Attention.
- If the towing eye is not tightened securely, it may come loose and come out of the bumper mounting socket while the vehicle is being towed. Make sure the towing eye is tightened securely.
- Be careful not to damage the towing eye, tow hook, vehicle body or transmission when towing. To do this, follow the recommendations below.
- Do not tow a vehicle heavier than yours.
- Do not accelerate the vehicle abruptly, as this will cause significant forces on the towing eye, towing hook or towing cable due to the jerk. Attach the cable only to the towing eye and towing hook.
