Range Rover Evoque: Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front
and rear
of the vehicle are designed for
on-road recovery only. If they are used
for any other purpose, it may result in
vehicle damage and serious injury.
The towing eyes are located behind panels in the bumpers. Panel design will vary depending on the vehicle specification. To use the towing eyes: 1. Front bumper - rotate the two fasteners 90 degrees counter clockwise. Pull the panel away from the front bumper.
2. Rear bumper - rotate the two fasteners 90 degrees counter clockwise. Pull the panel away from the rear bumper.
3. If the Dynamic pack is fitted, the exhaust finisher will also require removal before the towing eye can be used.
Installation of the panels is the reverse of removal.
Remove the towing eye covers
before
driving off-road, to prevent damage or
loss.
