To consider before using the towing eyelet

  • In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may be used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow truck. The vehicle's position and ground clearance determines if this is possible.
  • If the incline of the tow truck is too steep or if the ground clearance under the vehicle is insufficient, attempting to pull it up using the towing eyelet may result in damage.
  • If necessary, lift the vehicle using the tow truck's lifting device instead of using the towing eyelet.

WARNING

No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted onto the bed of the truck.

CAUTION

The towing eyelet is only intended for towing on roads – not for pulling vehicles from ditches or any similar purpose involving severe strain. Call a tow truck for professional assistance.

  • Unscrew the towing eyelet after use and return it to the foam block. Replace the cover on the bumper.
