Mazda 6 Service Manual: Towing hooks

Caution

• The towing hooks should be used only in an emergency (to get the vehicle out of a ditch or a snow bank, for example).

• When using the towing hooks, always pull the cable or chain in a straight direction with respect to the hook. Apply no sideways force.

FRONT

1. Remove the towing eyelet and the lug wrench from the trunk.

2. Wrap a screwdriver or similar tool with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the painted bumper and open the cap located on the front bumper, below the left headlight.

Caution

• The cap cannot be completely removed. Do not use excessive force as it may damage the cap or scratch the painted bumper surface.

3. Securely install the towing eyelet using the lug wrench.

4. Hook the towing rope to the towing eyelet.

Caution

• If the towing eyelet is not securely tightened, it may loosen or disengage from the bumper when towing the vehicle. Make sure that the towing eyelet is securely tightened to the bumper.
