Please follow these steps carefully for proper installation:

  1. Remove the spare wheel and the heat shield located on the exhaust side.

  5. On the left side, position the mounting bracket (-l) with point (C) onto the pre-threaded hole on the underside of the chassis beam, and align its points (E) with the tow bar's points (E).
  6. Insert the necessary bolts, washers, and nuts for these brackets and tighten all connections firmly (refer to torque specifications).
  7. Make a cut-out in the underside of the bumper as indicated in the provided diagram.
