Fig. 172
In the rear bumper on the right:
screwing in the towing eye: screwing in the tow-
ing eye.
The towing eye must always be kept in the
v
ehicle.
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing
bracket there is no mounting for the screw-in
towing eye behind the cover. In order to tow
the vehicle, use the ball coupling. You will
first have to swivel it out or fit it

If the vehicle exceeds the gross vehicle
weight rating or the rear axle load, the v
ehi-
cle speed must not exceed 80 km/h when
towing a trailer. This also applies to countries
where higher speeds are permitted. Observe
local speed limits. These may be lower for ve-
hicles with trailers than for vehicles without
trailers.
Any permitted excess loads for the vehicle
are entered in the vehicle documents. If no
excess load has been entered, it is possible to
drive up to 100 km/h, although local regula-
tions must be observed.
