Screw the towing eye counterclockwise into the threaded hole as
far as it will go ⇒ fig. 215 ⇒ . Use the lug wrench to turn and tighten
the towing eye.
When towing is complete, unscrew the towing eye clockwise to
remove it.
Position the bottom of the cover in the opening in the bumper and
carefully push the top of the cover over the edge of the opening.
Push on the cover until it locks into place.
NOTICE
Always make sure the towing eye is screwed all the way into
threaded hole so that it is secure. If not, it could be pulled out
while your vehicle is being towed.
Driving tips while towing

Since power steering does not work when the engine is switched
off, more effort is needed to steer the vehicle.
Since the brake booster also does not work when the engine is
stopped, you will need to press harder on the brake pedal to slow
down or stop. Do not hit the towing vehicle.
Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the towing ve-
hicle's owner's manual.
As the driver of the towing vehicle:
Drive especially carefully and accelerate gently. Avoid sudden driv-
ing maneuvers.
Brake earlier and more gently than usual and with light pedal pres-
sure.
Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the owner's
manual of the vehicle being towed.
