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.

NEW STANDARDS 

#1 : Diagnostic trouble codes depend on the diagnostic test mode
#2 : Controlled by the PCM
#3 : In some models, there is a fuel pump relay that controls pump speed.  That relay is now called the fuel pump 

relay (speed).

#4 : Device that controls engine and powertrain
#5 : Directly connected to exhaust manifold
#6 : Part name of diesel engine
