EMERGENCIES
Your vehicle also comes with a rear tow hook option. The same tow
eye can be screwed into the eyelet for towing.
Remove/Prise out the tow hook cover in the front LHS bumper
using a screwdriver. Screw in the tow hook and tighten clockwise.
Fasten a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing
vehicles to the towing hook.
Use only the towing hook provided, for towing in an emergency.
Do not tow by the bumper or any other part which may be
damaged.
Use only the cable or chain specifically intended for use in
towing vehicles.
A driver must be in the vehicle being towed to steer and
operate the brakes. Towing in this manner must be done only
on hard-surfaced roads for short distances and at low speeds.

Also, the wheels, axles, drive train, steering and brakes must all
be in good working condition.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers, which would
place excessive stress on the towing hook and towing cable or
chain, resulting in breakage of the hook or the chain.
If the engine is not running, the power assist for the steering
and brakes will not be functional, making it harder to steer or
brake than usual.
When lifting the rear wheels, take care to ensure adequate
ground clearance for towing at the front end of the raised
vehicle. The bumper and/or underbody of the vehicle may be
damaged during towing.
