front tow hook location of E320CDI

Where is the front tow hook in 2007 E320CDI? Is it under this cover:

Or as this car has automatic transmission, then maybe it does not support to be towed and this cover hides something else..

Thanks! As I understand, in case of automatic transmission wheels and transmission are still connected even if transmission is set to N position. At what speed and mileage it is safe to tow this car?

I don't think MB allows any towing beside pulling on flat bed.
I did tow older MB regardless and nothing happen on 10 miles tow, but it is your risk.
Those days any bigger agglomeration has a fleet of rollbacks for car haulings, so unless you are in remote area when old wrecker is the only choice, you should not have a problem.
Older wreckers used dollies.
