Tiedown Hook-Rear

The hook positioned under the rear
bumper on the right side is for tying down
the vehicle during transport, and it cannot
be used for towing other vehicles.
It can be used as a towing hook only when
the vehicle must be towed by another
vehicle in an emergency case such as

when the vehicle is stuck in snow,
however, it may damage the bumper.

Tiedown hook

CAUTION

When using the hook in such emergency
cases, observe the following so as not to
damage the tiedown hook or the vehicle
body.



The vehicle must be pulled straight to the
rear so that no load is applied to the
vehicle in the lateral direction.



The bumper may be damaged if the tie
down hook is used as a towing hook.



When using a metal chain or wire cable,
wrap a cloth around the attachment
area. If the metal chain or wire cable
contacts the bumper directly, the
bumper could be scratched or damaged.
