Where is the rear tow hook located on the Geely Emgrand?

The tow hook and other vehicle tools are stored under the trunk cover of the Emgrand. The front tow hook installation position is located behind a small cover on the lower left side of the front fascia. Simply press the left side of the cover to open it and reveal the installation point. The rear tow hook is already fixed to the rear chassis. The tow hook, also known as a tow ball, is a towing device connected to the vehicle's rear crash beam. It is mainly installed on ordinary household vehicles and self-propelled RVs. The purpose of the tow hook is to tow small trailers or towable RVs. It can also be used with rear-mounted bicycle racks or luggage carriers, increasing the vehicle's cargo space. How to use the tow hook: Locate the tow hook positions at the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the towed vehicle. The tow hook is designed under the bumper, and you can find a hidden space by inspecting the front and rear bumpers. This space is usually covered by a round or square cover, indicating the tow hook location. When installing the towing equipment, whether using soft or hard towing tools, ensure the connection to the vehicle hook is secure. If the tow hook has a safety lock, make sure it is properly engaged. Precautions for using the tow hook: Take wide turns when towing. Since the towed vehicle extends the body length and increases the turning radius, making wider turns helps avoid accidents involving pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles. Pay attention to the tire pressure of small trailers. When passing over speed bumps, if the trailer's tire pressure remains at the normal 2.5 bar, it may bounce and cause the trailer to detach from the tow hook, which is very dangerous. Many small trailers use rubber torsion axles for suspension, resulting in poor shock absorption. It is recommended to reduce the tire pressure of small trailers to around 1.3 bar to allow the tires to act as shock absorbers. When reversing, it is advisable to first detach the trailer or RV from the tow hook. Towing while reversing can cause the trailer or RV to swing unpredictably, making it difficult to park properly. Additionally, when reversing a vehicle with a tow hook into a parking space, leave extra space if there are obstacles or other vehicles behind, as the tow hook may collide with them. Similarly, be mindful of the rear situation when parallel parking.
Oh, I remember my Geely Emgrand has been driven for several years, and the towing hook position is particularly clear—right in the center below the rear bumper. Just squat down and you'll spot a small plastic cover or a reserved hole. Pry it open to reveal the towing hook ring. It's easy to overlook this spot when parking, as it's positioned low to avoid disrupting the exterior design. When towing, just align and insert the hook for the rope, but don’t yank it hard—steady movements prevent body scratches. It's recommended to check if the cover is intact during maintenance; otherwise, dust might clog it, making the spot hard to locate. The Geely Emgrand’s design is quite thoughtful, with a fixed position that’s hard to misjudge. The towing hook is crucial for emergency rescues or moving the car. If unsure, check the manual or search for images online first—safety comes first, don’t act recklessly.
With extensive car repair experience, I can tell you that the standard position of the tow hook for the Geely Emgrand is located beneath the rear bumper, near the center. Most models have a hidden cover that can be gently pried open. The position is a bit low, so you may need to bend down to inspect it. It's best to slightly lift the rear of the car with a jack for easier operation. When installing the tow hook, be careful not to damage the bumper, as its design is simple yet aesthetically pleasing. Ensure the tow hook is securely fastened during towing, as road bumps can easily loosen it and cause accidents. For different model years of the Emgrand, such as those after 2019, the position may be slightly forward but still easy to locate. Avoid leaving tow ropes or hooks lying around during daily driving to prevent debris accumulation, and keep them dry to prevent rust.
