Press the arrow symbol to push out the 
cover.
Only use the tow fitting that comes 
with the vehicle and screw it in as far 
as it will go. Only use the tow fitting to tow 
on the roadway. Adhere to these specifica-

torn out and damage the vehicle.
Never attempt to tow or tie down the vehi-
cle using suspension components, as this 
could lead to damage that might ultimately 
result in an accident.<
