EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Your car is equipped with 2 towing eyes (located at the
front and the rear of the vehicle), which are used for
fitting the towing hook in the tool kit. The tool kit is
placed beneath the loadspace floor. To fit the towing hook,
remove the small cover set into the bumper, then screw
the towing hook via the small hole into the threaded hole
in the bumper beam (see illustration). Ensure the towing
hook is fully tightened!
Suspended Towing
If your vehicle needs to be towed, most qualified recovery
specialists will use wheel lift equipment to suspend the
vehicle. Please keep the driving wheels off the ground.
Ensure the parking brake is released, the hazard warning
lamps are activated and no passengers are left in the vehicle.
Note: The small cover removed may be secured to the
bumper by a plastic cord.
Both towing points are intended for using by qualified
recovery specialists to assist in the recovery of your
vehicle when a breakdown or accident occurs. They are
not designed for towing other vehicles, and must NEVER
be used to tow a trailer or caravan. The vehicle can be
towed using a tow rope but a towing bar is recommended.
