Front Towing Hook

There is a round cover at the right hand
side of the front bumper. A fixing hole
for hook installation can be found after
you open the cover by pressing it on the
driver side, as indicated by the arrow in
above diagram. The hook is stored in
the tool bag in the rear compartment.
Install the hook on the fixing hole, turn
it clockwise to tighten firmly. Tow the
vehicle after ensuring that the hook is
securely attached. While towing, a
driver must be in the vehicle to steer it
and operate the brakes. After towing,
remove the hook and close it with the
cover. Insert the cover into the hole by
pushing it towards the driver side, and
then press the passenger side to firmly
close it.
When towing the vehicle with a tow
rope, the vehicle can be damaged.
To reduce damage:
Use the towing hook only if no other
towing equipment is available.
Only tow the vehicle from the front.
Keep the tow rope clear of the
HEX0151
bumper.
Pull on the tow rope to make sure it is
securely fixed to the towing hooks at
both ends.
Drive off slowly and avoid sharp
turns.
Caution Caution
When towing with a tow rope, you
could lose control of the towed
vehicle.
Only tow at a low speed for a short
distance.
Do not tow the vehicle if the wheels,
transmission, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged.
Do not remove the key from the
ignition switch, otherwise the
steering will lock, making the
vehicle undriveable.
