RL V6-3.5L (2007)
Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the only way of transporting the vehicle.
To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with front towing hooks (A), rear towing hook (B), front tie down hook slots (C), and rear
tie down hook slots (D).
The rear towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the
truck.
Front Towing Hook Installation
The detachable front towing hook is for towing very short distances, such as freeing the car. The hook mounts to the anchor in the front bumper.
NOTE
-
To avoid damage to the vehicle, use the towing hook for straight flat ground towing only. Do not tow on an angle.
-
The tow hook should not be used to tow the vehicle onto a flat bed. Do not use it as a tie down.
1. Remove the cover (A) from the front bumper.
2. Remove the towing hook from the tool case in the trunk.
3. Screw in the towing hook (B), and tighten it securely by hand.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels
remain on the ground. This method of towing the RL is unacceptable.
