Picked up my 2015 S yesterday. Love it!

Found towing eye in passenger door pocket, trying to work out where it is supposed to live, manual says to the right of the battery in the battery compartment, there is no obvious place in mine where I can see where it would go. Anyone help me with this? Pic maybe

Going for another drive shortly, because I can!

Thanks, Phil

Welcome to the club!
The towing eye is supposed to go alongside the battery in a little towing eye shaped recess. Assuming you don't have a spare wheel - if you have, it goes in the tool kit.

Thanks scm
I have no spare but I don’t see any such recess. Is the recess ‘fixed’ or is it a bit of polystyrene like the one with tyre junk and locking wheel but? If not fixed I guess it could have gone walkabout or got damaged and binned?

Have you taken out the boot liner and had a look to see if it's just moved. It's only push in place against the battery strap.

Yes, just went and had a look, nothing there. Gonna have another look in the morning just in case I missed something, it’s nearly dark now.

Maybe on a completely separate note but maybe related to OP as unsure if they are RWD or AWD.....

I could of sworn that AWD cars cannot be towed and I thought it said that in the manual but perhaps I'm thinking of my last car which said do not tow and was AWD.

RWD, the manual covers towing and the location of the towing eye. Mine wasn’t where it should be because of the missing holder.
