Tow Hooks; Loading The Vehicle - Chevrolet 2009 Kodiak Owner's Manual

Tow Hooks

CAUTION:
{
These hooks, when used, are under a lot of force.
Always pull the vehicle straight out. Never pull on
the hooks at a sideways angle. The hooks could
break off and you or others could be injured from
the chain or cable snapping back.
Notice: Never use tow hooks to tow the vehicle.
Your vehicle could be damaged and it would not be
covered by warranty.
If your vehicle has tow hooks, the hooks are at the front
and, on some models, the rear of the vehicle. You
may need to use them if you are stuck off-road and need
to be pulled to some place where you can continue
driving.

Loading the Vehicle

It is the responsibility of the Final Stage manufacturer to
install a Certification label on your vehicle. This label
shows how much weight your vehicle can properly carry.
It may also show the size of the vehicle's original tires,
and the inflation pressures needed to obtain the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle. This is called the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The tire information
could also be shown on a separate Tire Information label.
The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel, and cargo.
