Recovery lug
The recovery lug is used for safe recovery when using the vehicle on race tracks, e.g. for pulling the vehicle out of a bed of gravel.
To do this, the hook must be screwed into the thread provided at the factory in the front or rear bumper. For secure fastening, the hook should be screwed in using a screwdriver inserted through the hook eyelet, for example. The supplied spacer rings are used to align the lug horizontally. As required, one or more of the washers are screwed on as far as they will go onto the thread of the hook before fitting.
Note: The recovery lug must not be attached when driving on public roads. Likewise, use for towing the vehicle on public roads is not permitted. The recovery process itself must be carried out by trained personnel. When doing so, make sure that the tensile forces are applied in the direction of the hook, never perpendicular to it. Jerky loads must also be avoided. The recovery lug is not suitable for securing the vehicle on a recovery vehicle or car transport trailer. Improper handling can result in injury or damage to the recovery lug or vehicle.
