Rear towing eye: To access this, remove the cover using a screwdriver or similar tool.
For towing, use a rigid hitch, nylon rope or strap, which, due to their elasticity, compensate for high traction loads.
When towing with a rigid hitch, the towing eyes of both vehicles must be located on the same side.
If it is not possible to avoid a diagonal position of the rigid coupling, keep the following in mind:
- When driving around turns, freedom of maneuver is limited;
- When the rigid coupling is positioned diagonally, a lateral force is created (which is critical when driving on slippery roads);
- To compensate for the tilt, the towed vehicle must shift along the track relative to the towing vehicle;
- When braking the towing vehicle, there is a risk of skidding.
Note: The towed vehicle must not be heavier than the towing vehicle.
