Handling the Unexpected
For very short distances, such as freeing the vehicle, you can use the detachable
towing hook that mounts on the anchors in the front and rear bumpers.
1.Put cloth on the edge of the cover.
Carefully pry with a small flat-tip
screwdriver or a metal fingernail file to
remove the cover.
2.Take the towing hook and the jack handle
bar out of the tool bag in the cargo area.
3.Screw the towing hook into the hole, and
tighten it with the jack handle bar.■Towing Hook
1Towing HookNOTICETo avoid damage to your vehicle, use the towing
hook for straight, flat ground towing only. Do not
tow at an angle. This hook should not be used to tow
the vehicle onto a flat bed. Do not use it as a tie
down.
Make sure to use the properly-designed and attached
towing equipment.NOTICEDo not slip the clutch for a long time to get unstuck.
This may overheat and damage the transmission.
