1 The towing eyelet is located under the floor of the cargo area, with the spare tire and may be partially concealed. This eyelet must be screwed into the positions provided on the right sides of either the front or rear bumper (see illustration).

2 There are two different types of covers over the openings for the towing eyelet and they have to be opened differently.

• If the cover has a notch, insert a coin, etc., into the notch and pry open the edge of the cover. Open the cover completely and remove it.

• If the cover has a mark along one edge or in a corner, press the mark while prying out the opposite side/corner using a coin, etc. Open the cover and remove it.

Screw the towing eyelet in place, first by hand and then using the tire iron until it is securely in place.

After the vehicle has been towed, the eyelet should be removed and returned to its storage location.

Press the cover for the attachment point back into position.
