The front ring is located in the tool box
beneath the passenger side seat. On
versions with Fix&Go kit and without
spare wheel, the tool box is available
only on request for versions/markets
where provided.
In the absence of the tool box the
vehicle front tow hook is housed in the
on-board documentation container,
together with the Owner Handbook.
To use it, proceed as follows:
❒ Open the flap A and remove it as
illustrated in fig. 236;
❒ turn retaining knob B fig. 236
anticlockwise and remove it to allow
the box fig. 237 to come out;
❒ take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 239;
❒ take the tow ring D from the box and
screw it onto the threaded pin fig.
239.
The rear ring B fig. 240 is located at the
point shown in the diagram.
WARNING
176) Screw on the tow hook and
check that it stops at the end
of travel position.

steering lock (see "Starting
device" paragraph under the
"Knowing your car" section).

towing and avoid jerking. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
