Tow Eye Warning Label
Tow Eye Installation
Front Tow Eye
The front tow eye receptacle is located behind a
door on the front fascia/bumper.
To install the tow eye, open the door using the
vehicle key or a small screwdriver, and thread
the tow eye into the receptacle.
Insert the flat end of the jack handle through
the tow eye and tighten Ú page 294. The tow
eye must be fully seated to the attaching
bracket through the lower front fascia/bumper.
If the tow eye is not fully seated to the attaching
bracket, the vehicle should not be moved.

WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow
eyes.
Do not use a chain with a tow eye. Chains
may break, causing serious injury or death.
Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye. Tow
straps may break or become disengaged,
causing serious injury or death.
Failure to follow proper tow eye usage may
cause components to break resulting in
serious injury or death.
The brake and steering power assist
systems will not function while the vehicle
is being towed. You will, therefore, need to
apply more force on the brake pedal and
steering wheel. Do not use flexible ropes
when towing, and avoid jerky movements.
Do not start the engine while towing the car.
Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully screwed into the
housing before towing the car.
