can then be removed. 4. Screw the towing eyelet into place as far
as possible.Fasten the eyelet securing by, for example, inserting a lug wrench * through it and
using this as a lever.
CAUTION
It is important that the towing eye is screwed in securely as far as possible.
To consider before using the towing eyelet
In certain conditions, the towing eyelet may be used to pull the vehicle onto a flat-bed tow truck. The vehicle's position andground clearance determines if this is pos-sible.
If the incline of the tow truck is too steepor if the ground clearance under the vehi-cle is insufficient, attempting to pull it up using the towing eyelet may result in dam-age.
If necessary, lift the vehicle using the towtruck's lifting device instead of using thetowing eyelet.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted ontothe bed of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for tow- ing on roads – not for pulling vehicles fromditches or any similar purpose involvingsevere strain. Call a tow truck for profes-sional assistance.
Removing the towing eyelet–Unscrew the towing eyelet after use and return it to its storage location in the foamblock. Replace the cover on the bumper.

Settings in the Top view.
2. Tap
My CarParking Brake and
Suspension.
3. Select
Disable Leveling Control.
The vehicle's location and ground clearance determine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. Ifthe incline of the tow truck is too steep or ifthe ground clearance under the vehicle isinsufficient, attempting to pull it up may resultin damage. In this case, the vehicle shouldonly be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equip-ment.
WARNING
No person or object should be behind the tow truck when the vehicle is lifted ontothe bed of the truck.
CAUTION
The towing eyelet is only intended for tow- ing on roads, and must not be used to pull
vehicles from ditches or any similar pur-pose involving severe strain. Call a towtruck for professional assistance.

can be a good idea to put new batteries in the remote control being replaced by HomeLink ®
for faster programming and
better radio signal transmission. TheHomeLink ®
buttons should be reset before
programming.

is being programmed,
the garage door or gate being programmed may be activated. Make sure that no one isnear the door or gate during programming.When programming a garage door opener,it is advised to park outside of the garage. 1. Point the remote control at the
HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and
hold it about 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not obstruct the HomeLink ®

should be calibrated if the
vehicle is driven from one zone to another.
1. Stop the vehicle in a large, open area away from steel constructions and high-voltage power lines.
2. Start the engine and switch off all electri- cal equipment (climate system, wipers,etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.
NOTE
Calibration may fail or not even be initiated if electrical equipment is not turned off.
3. Hold the button on the bottom of the rear-view mirror pressed for about 3 seconds (using e.g. a paper clip). The number of thecurrent magnetic zone is shown.
