Connect the Tow Chain
The method used to connect the tow chain
depends on whether Model S is equipped with
a towing eye (located in the front trunk).
If not equipped with a towing eye:
1.
Connect the tow chains to the large hole
on each of the rearmost lower suspension
arms.
2. To protect the underbody from any
damage that could be caused by the tow
chains, place a 2" x 4" piece of wood
between the tow chains and the
underbody.
Caution: Before pulling, position the
wood between the tow chain and the
underbody to ensure the underbody is
protected from any damage that could
be caused by the tow chain.
If equipped with a towing eye:
1.
Remove the nose cone.
Insert a plastic pry tool into the top right
corner, and gently pry the nose cone
toward you. When the clip releases, pull
the nose cone toward you, without
twisting or bending, to release the three
remaining clips.
2. Insert the towing eye.
Fully insert the towing eye (found in the
front trunk) into the opening on the right
side, then turn it counter-clockwise until
securely fastened.
3. Attach the tow chain to the towing eye.
Caution: Before pulling, make sure the
towing eye is securely tightened.
