To use the towing hook:
Remove the cover from the front
bumper using your fingers, or pry
it off using a cloth and a flat-tip
screwdriver to prevent scratches.
If your vehicle gets stuck in sand,
mud, or snow, call a towing service
to pull it out (see page
).
For very short distances, such as
freeing the vehicle, you can use the
detachable towing hook that mounts
on the anchor in the front bumper.
Remove the towing hook and
wheel nut wrench from the tool
case in the cargo area.
