Towing and tie-down hooks/holes
The towing hooks should be used only in an emergency (e.g., to free a stuck vehicle from mud, sand or snow).
CAUTION
● Use only the specified towing hooks and tie-down hooks/holes. Never use suspension parts or other parts of the body for towing or tie-down purposes.
● Never use the tie-down hole closest to the muffler under the vehicle for towing purposes.
● To prevent deformation to the bumper and the towing hook, do not apply excessive lateral load to the towing hooks.
