Front Towing Hook Installation
The detachable front towing hook is for towing very short distances, such as freeing the car. The hook attaches to the anchor in the front bumper.
NOTICE
-
To avoid damage to the vehicle, use the towing hook for straight flat ground towing only. Do not tow on an angle.
-
Do not use the detachable tow hook as a tie down for the vehicle on the flat-bed tow truck. Use the tie down hook slots provided.
1. Remove the cover (A) from the front bumper.
2. Remove the detachable towing hook from the tool kit in the trunk.
3. Screw in the detachable towing hook (B), and tighten it securely by hand.
SH-AWD models
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lifts them off the ground. The other two wheels
remain on the ground. Never tow the vehicle with wheel lift equipment.
Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the
cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted. This
method of towing the vehicle is unacceptable.
The only recommended way of towing the vehicle is on a flat-bed tow truck.
NOTICE
-
Towing the vehicle with only two wheels on the ground will damage parts of the SH-AWD system. If the vehicle is damaged, it should be
towed on a flat-bed tow truck or trailer.
-
Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
