The Roewe i5 does not have front or rear tow hooks and cannot be used for towing. Introduction to Tow Hooks: The English name is Towbar, a ball-type towing device. In Chinese, it is also known as a traction bar, tow bar, or ball-type tow hook. It is a vehicle towing and traction device composed of a mounting bracket, ball-type tow hook, and towing power module, installed at the rear of the vehicle for towing trailers, yachts, motorcycles, RVs, bike racks, luggage carriers, etc. Installing a Tow Hook: It can be used to tow small trailers or towable RVs, and can also be paired with rear-mounted bike racks or luggage carriers to increase the vehicle's cargo space.

Regarding the front and rear tow hook positions of the Roewe i5, based on practical experience, the front tow hook is usually located at the lower center of the front bumper, protected by a small plastic cover. Gently pushing it open or using a small tool to pry it reveals the threaded interface for installing the tow hook ring. The rear tow hook is positioned at the lower left side of the rear bumper, near the trunk area, also covered by a removable cap. The exact location may vary depending on the model version, so it's recommended to check the user manual illustrations for details. While driving, pay attention to whether the cover is intact to prevent sand or rainwater from affecting its use. In emergency towing situations, always tighten the hook using the manufacturer's accessories first, and avoid using other points to prevent damage to the vehicle body. Before towing, check if the ground is level and control the speed in a slow gear for safety.

I've been commuting with my Roewe i5 for several years and have figured out the tow hook locations: the front hook is near the center at the bottom of the front bumper – crouch down to find the small square cover, gently pry it open to reveal the socket. The rear hook is usually located in the lower left or right area of the rear bumper, just lift the cover to attach the tow rope. Once when helping a friend whose car broke down, I noticed the positions are quite standard, but remember to start slowly when towing to avoid sudden impacts. Be careful not to scrape the bumper when parking, as a missing cover can let water seep in. It's advisable to test opening them in winter when roads are icy, so you're not caught off guard if they're frozen. Take some time to practice locating them yourself, so you won't be confused in critical moments.

Finding the tow hook is crucial, safety first I always remind. The front tow hook of the Roewe i5 is located at the center under the front bumper, marked with a cover plate; the rear tow hook is in the same area at the rear but slightly to the left, with a removable cover. Before use, ensure the hook is securely connected, the tow rope is free from wear, and the speed is kept below 50km/h to prevent detachment. Avoid attempting to tow from other points on the vehicle to prevent structural deformation and damage. Regularly inspect the cover for dust and water resistance, and replace immediately if rusted. Check weather and road conditions before towing, as towing on slopes carries higher risks.

As a new owner of the Roewe i5, I gradually figured out the towing hook locations: at the front, it's in the middle of the lowest part of the front bumper with a small cover that can be pushed open; at the rear, it's near the bottom of the rear bumper, with a similar operation. The positions are easy to find—just squat down after parking to see clearly. When using it, properly attach the towing hook ring and tighten it, then start gently without sudden jerks. Be careful not to lose the cover to avoid water ingress affecting longevity. A quick practice before towing makes it easier to handle.

I think the tow hook locations on the Roewe i5 are well-designed: the front hook is under the front bumper at the front chassis, and the rear hook is near the left side of the rear, both with small protective covers for clear identification. Before use, consult the manual to confirm the correct points to avoid mistakes, tighten the hook to prevent loosening, and avoid sudden acceleration when towing to protect the drivetrain. It's recommended to add a location reminder on a glovebox memo label. Replace any damaged covers promptly and perform rust prevention maintenance with a monthly wipe-down.
