Location of Towing Hooks
Front towing hook
• If you cannot use a professional towing service, the driver of
the towed vehicle should stay behind the steering wheel. But,
never use this emergency towing when the electrical system,
steering system, or brake system is not operative.
• Ensure that only horizontal tension is applied to the front or rear
towing hook.
• If there are steep hills or sharp turns in your towing path, do not
use this method.
• Depress the brake pedal stronger than normal condition when
the engine is not running.
• When your electrical systems operate properly, turn on the haz-
ard warning lamps or turn signal lamps according to the towing
vehicle’s signals.
• Avoid overloaded towing and do not tow a heavier vehicle than
yours.
• Position the ignition switch to “ACC” or “ON” so that the steering
wheel is not locked.
CAUTION
Rear towing hook
• The towing hook should be used only for temporary and short-
distance recovery or towing in an emergency situation. Avoid
using it all the time. Misusing can have serious consequences.
• Special cares should be taken when towing. Avoid an abrupt
start-off or reckless driving because it could over-tighten the
towing hook, towing rope or chain with excessive force. To pre-
vent damage, do not take up slack in the towing rope or chain
too quickly.
• If the towing hook is required for towing as the vehicle becomes
stuck in snow, mud or sand or it can't get out by itself due to
poor traction, make sure no excessive force is applied to the
towing hook. Otherwise, the towing hook, towing rope or chain
may be broken, resulting in an injury or damage to the vehicle.
For safe towing, it is recommended to contact Ssangyong au-
thorized serviceshop or a professional towing company.
