Tow-Trust Towbars

Parts List

Bumper Removal

1. Open the rear tailgate. For 2008 models: remove one fixing either side of boot opening, remove the trim from the inside edge of each light cluster. This will enable access to the bumper release clips. You may find this easier by removing the complete light cluster, where one fixing is found inside the boot. For All Models: remove three fixings from each wheel arch, unclip each wheel arch trim, and remove six fixings from the bumper lower edge. Carefully pull bumper tips sideways, then carefully release from around each light cluster area. Pull rearward to finally release the bumper from the vehicle body. Unplug any necessary wiring looms.

Towbar Installation

1. Locate the Towbar mounting points on the outside and lower face of each chassis (these will be covered with tape). Clean the chassis faces then insert Items P into the outside face mounting points.
2. For DS3 rear beam with weights ONLY: Remove rear beam and weights and hand back to customer, as these are not refitted with the Towbar assembly.
3. For All Models: One side at a time, remove all fixings securing the rear impact beam to the vehicle. Using Item H with Item M, fix Items A1 to the rear panel, sandwiching the rear impact beam. (Only fit to the outer upper point at this stage).
4. Using Item H with Item M, fix Item A and Items A1 to the rear panel.
5. Fix Items C to the lower face of each chassis member using Item F and Item L.
6. Fix Items B to the outside face of each chassis member using Item F and Item L.
7. Fix items B to Items C and Item A using Items G and Items L.
8. Using Item J with Item N and Item K with Item N, fix item D and Item E to Item A.
9. Assemble Socket plate (Item E) using Items R, S & T.
10. Fully tighten all fixings ensuring the Towbar is rigid, square, and secure.
11. Cut the rear bumper as shown below and refit.
