Fitting of the towing arm
Take the towing arm out of the tool box in the luggage com-
partment.
- 1 -
- Remove the cover of the hole in the rear bumper (H)
-arrow- (by means of the hook for removing wheel
caps – the hook is a part of the standard equipment of the
vehicle and it is placed in the tool box).
- Deposit the cover in a suitable place in the luggage com-
partment of the vehicle (because of a possible damage to
the snaps). Avoid damages to the paint of the rear bum-
per and of the cover!

- Take the cover (F) out of the hole of the clamping bush on
the beam of the towing coupling pulling it downwards and
towards you at the same time -arrow- and deposit it in a
suitable place. Avoid a possible clash of your hand with
the edge of the hole in the bumper if removing it in a
wrong way.
- 3 -
- Check whether the towing arm is in the stand-by posi-
tion.

red section can be seen only) and the key is in unlocked po-
sition (its red mark is visible) -detail arrows-.
- 4 -
- Insert the towing arm (C) into the clamping bush of the
beam of the towing coupling as far as to the upper clamping
position.
- The clamping is accompanied by a sound (of the clamping
balls being snapped in the bushing); the control lever turns
upwards and the safety pin is plugged out (its green sec-
tion is visible) -detail arrow-.
- Remove the cover (D) from the ball journal -arrow-.
- 5 -
- Turning the key (E) through 180° to the right, lock the lock
of the control lever (its green mark is visible) and take the
key out.
Check whether the towing arm is fitted properly. Try its
fitting by hand (shaking it vigorously).
