Towing/Tiedown Hooks

CAUTION
• The towing hook should be used
only in an emergency (to get the
vehicle out of a ditch or a snow
bank, for example).
• When using the towing hook,
always pull the cable or chain in a
straight direction with respect to the
hook. Apply no sideways force.
• Don't use the tiedown hooks under
the front for towing.
They are designed ONLY for tying
down the vehicle when it's being
transported. Using them for towing
will damage the bumper.
