2 Answers
The rear tow hook on the Audi Q5 is located at the lower part of the rear bumper, near the exhaust pipe. The tow hook is also called a tow ball, ball-type rear tow hook, tow bar, or drawbar. In a broad sense, the tow ball refers to a complete towing system, which consists of three parts: the fixed bracket, the ball body, and the power harness (power control unit). Relevant information about the tow hook is as follows: 1. The English name for the car tow hook system is Towbar, which is the towing and traction device of the car, consisting of an installation fixed bracket (base anti-collision beam), a spherical tow hook, and a towing power module. 2. The car tow hook is a spherical towing device. Many car brands come with a tow hook as standard, and the car tow hook has become a necessary component of the vehicle.
I found the rear tow hook on my Audi Q5, it's hidden under the center of the rear bumper, near the bottom of the rear end. There's a small plastic cover that can be easily popped open by hand. If you drive a newer Q5, the location is basically the same, but older models might have it slightly to the left. Remember to gently pry open the cover with a key or tool, don't force it to avoid scratching the bumper. When towing, make sure the car is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off for safety. I've towed a boat myself, and the location is very easy to find. It's usually covered and inconspicuous, so it doesn't affect the appearance. When attaching the tow rope, just hook it on—Audi's design is quite user-friendly. Don't forget to check that the cover is securely closed to prevent water ingress and rust. During regular maintenance, take a quick look to ensure it's ready when needed.
