Towing Hook
DO NOT use a tow rope that is twisted - or
the towing hook may be unscrewed.
Emergency Information
Your car is equipped with a towing eye (located at the front
of the vehicle), which is used for fitting the towing hook
in the toolbox. The toolbox is placed beneath the trunk
carpet.
Before installing the towing hook, remove the small cover
set on the bumper. When removing, press one side of the
small cover set and pry the other side to open it according
to the direction shown in the figure. Then screw the
towing hook via the small hole into the threaded hole in the
bumper beam (see illustration). Ensure the towing hook is
fully tightened!
Note: The towing eye cover may be secured to the
bumper by a plastic cord.
The towing hook can be used as the towing point in
the recovery of your car when a breakdown or accident
occurs. However, they are not designed for towing other
vehicles, and must NEVER be used to tow a trailer or
caravan. When towing vehicles, soft ropes can be used for
towing, and hard rods are recommended for towing.
