It is acceptable to have your front-wheeldrive vehicle towed from the front if usingproper wheel lift equipment to raise thefront wheels off the ground. When towingin this manner, the rear wheels can remainon the ground.
Front-wheel drive vehicles must have thefront wheels placed on a tow dolly whentowing your vehicle from the rear usingwheel lift equipment. This preventsdamage to the transmission.
Towing an all-wheel or four-wheel drivevehicle requires that all wheels be off theground, such as using a wheel lift anddollies or flatbed equipment. This preventsdamage to the transmission, all-wheel orfour-wheel drive system and vehicle.
TOWING POINTS
Due to local market requirements in somecountries, some vehicles may be equippedwith a recovery hook.
Recovery Hook Location
If your vehicle is equipped with a screw-inrecovery hook, it is located with the sparetire kit.
Installing the Recovery Hook
There is an installation point for therecovery hook located behind the fascia.
Note:The screw-in recovery hook has aleft-hand thread. Turn it counterclockwiseto install it. Make sure that the recovery hookis fully tightened.
Remove the recovery hook cover by pryingit off at the notch with a screwdriver orsimilar object.
Note:Use a soft cloth to cover the pryingtool. This helps prevent scratch marks tothe vehicle's paint.
