It is recommended that emergency trailer or 2-wheel
emergency vehicle should be used. During an emergency, tow
the vehicle with the front towing point.
Front Towing Pad
The front of the vehicle is equipped with a removable pintle
hook which is used during the vehicle rescue. The front pintle
hook is usually stored in the vehicle tool box, and it should
be put back after being used. When fitting the pintle hook,
remove the pintle hook cover on the right side of the front
bumper first, and then tighten the pintle hook to the mounting
parts (bumper armature) of the front bumper assembly.
Rear Pintle Hook
Fixed rear pintle hook can only be used for towing light-weight
vehicles. The rear towing point of the vehicle equipped with a
manual transmission can be used for towing from the rear.

with an automatic transmission, which will cause the
automatic transmission to damage seriously.

towing pad.
Before towing, release the hand brake and turn the ignition
