¢ Towing and tie-down hooks
The towing hooks should be used only in
an emergency (e.g., to free a stuck vehicle
from mud, sand or snow).
Front towing hook:
1. Take out the towing hook, screwdriver
and wheel nut wrench from the on board
tool bag.
2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the
slot on the towing hook cover, then use it
to pry the cover upward.
3. Screw the towing hook into the thread
hole until its thread can no longer be seen.
4. Tighten the towing hook securely using
the wheel nut wrench.
After towing, remove the towing hook from
the vehicle and stow it in the tool bag.
Fit the towing hook cover on the bumper.
Rear towing hook:

Do not use the towing hook ex-
cept when towing your vehicle.
Be sure to remove the towing
hook after towing. Leaving the
towing hook mounted on the vehi-
cle could interfere with proper op-
eration of the SRS airbag system
in a frontal collision.
900284
To prevent deformation to the front
bumper and the towing hook, do not
apply excessive lateral load to the
towing hook.
