ok so i can't start my car because the alternator's ribbed belt is broken, and i need to tow my car to garage, but after i looked at my manual, and mine is FR, and the front bumper is different to the one the manual, n it says on manual remove the right cover of the inferior part of the front bumper. then look at my car, i can't see where the front towing bit is, also its only one big cover??

anyone can give me some guidance please :cry:

Your tow hitch is behind a grille/panel on the drivers side. Get the towing eye out of the boot and screw it into the hole that is behind the grille/panel. You'll probably need a screwdriver to get the grille off

With that grille you don't need to remove anything. Just insert the tow eye into the rubber cross that you can see through the air intake....then screw it clockwise
