Emergency Towing
Tiedown Hook-Rear
The hook positioned under the rear
bumper on the driver's side is for tying
down the vehicle during transport, and it
cannot be used for towing other vehicles.
It can be used as a towing hook only when
the vehicle must be towed by another
vehicle in an emergency case such as when
the vehicle is stuck in snow, however, it
may damage the bumper.
Tiedown hook
CAUTION
When using the hook in such emergency
cases, observe the following so as not to
damage the tiedown hook or the vehicle
body.
The vehicle must be pulled straight
to the rear so that no load is applied
to the vehicle in the lateral direction.
The bumper may be damaged if the
tie down hook is used as a towing
hook.
When using a metal chain or wire
lead, wrap a cloth around the
attachment area. If the metal chain
or wire lead contacts the bumper
directly, the bumper could be
scratched or damaged.
