The method to open the tow hook cover on a Sagitar is: repeatedly press around the edges of the tow hook cover at the lower part of the bumper until you find the right angle to pop it open. If it doesn't open easily, this may be due to prolonged non-use making the cover tight; in such cases, you can use a flathead screwdriver or car key to pry it open. Taking the Sagitar 2020 200TSI Manual Fashion model as an example, the vehicle dimensions are 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The car is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've driven a Sagitar for over a decade and know the tow hook cover quite well. That cover is usually located on the left side of the rear bumper, near the license plate frame. You can feel a small protrusion by touch. The first time I tried opening it, I was super nervous – prying with my key for ages with no result. Later I learned you need to gently pry the edge with a small tool, not too forcefully, otherwise the clips might break. Use a plastic pry bar or flathead screwdriver with a soft cloth underneath to prevent scratching the paint, then just give it a gentle lift to open. Make sure the car is parked with the handbrake on, and don't toss the cover aside after opening – keep it safe so it doesn't get lost. Veteran owner's advice: check this cover regularly to prevent it from getting stuck and affecting emergency towing.

As someone who frequently deals with cars, let me briefly explain. The towing hook cover on the Sagitar is usually a small round cap located in the middle or slightly to the left at the bottom of the rear bumper, making it easy to identify. Prepare a small flathead screwdriver, preferably with a plastic tip, insert it into the gap of the cover, and gently pry it open. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the spring clip. Some new cars have tightly fitted covers—try slightly twisting or gently pushing to loosen them. After prying it open, remember to check if the hook socket is clean and free of dust. Once done, always securely snap the cover back in place to prevent water or dust from entering, which could affect future use.

Is it necessary to purchase auto theft insurance for sedans?

Theft insurance can be purchased based on individual needs. If the vehicle itself is of high value and has excellent anti-theft technology, it is generally not necessary to buy. The following three types of car owners are usually advised to purchase theft insurance: 1. New car owners, as stolen vehicles are often dismantled and sold, resulting in significant losses even if recovered; 2. Owners who do not have a fixed garage or frequently travel on business, usually parking in open parking lots or older residential areas without surveillance; 3. Owners of vehicles that are prone to theft, such as the Wuling series, Changan series, etc.
