In case of emergency
Towing and tie-down hooks
The towing hooks should be used only in
an emergency (e.g., to free a stuck vehicle
from mud, sand or snow).
Front towing hook:
1. Take the towing hook and screwdriver
out of the tool bag. Take the jack handle
out of the trunk (Sedan) or cargo area
(Wagon).
2. Pry off the cover on the front bumper
using a screwdriver, and you will find a
threaded hole for attaching the towing
hook.
3. Screw the towing hook into the thread
hole until its thread can no longer be seen.
4. Tighten the towing hook securely using
the jack handle.
After towing, remove the towing hook from
the vehicle and stow it in the tool bag.
Fit the fog light cover on the bumper.
Rear towing hook:

Do not use the towing hook ex-
cept when towing your vehicle.
Be sure to remove the towing
hook after towing. Leaving the
towing hook mounted on the vehi-
cle could interfere with proper op-
eration of the SRS airbag system
in a frontal collision.
