Towing Hooks

The towing eyelet should be used in an

emergency (to get the vehicle out of a

ditch or a snow bank, for example).

When using the towing eyelets, always

pull the lead or chain in a straight

direction with respect to the eyelet. Never

apply a sideways force.

When towing with chain or lead, wrap the

chain or lead with a soft cloth near the

bumper to prevent damage to the bumper.

Do not use excessive force as it may

damage the cap or scratch the painted

bumper surface.

Remove the cap completely and store it

so as not to lose it.
