The Song MAX does not have a rear tow hook, only a front tow hook. Definition of tow hook: A tow hook, also known as a tow ball, is a towing device connected to the rear bumper beam of a vehicle. It is primarily installed on ordinary household vehicles to tow trailers weighing less than 1,700 kg, as well as towable caravans. Of course, it can also be used to install rear-mounted luggage racks or bicycle racks, etc. Relevant regulations on installing tow hooks: According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Public Security, it is permissible for small and micro passenger vehicles to install front and rear anti-collision devices. Therefore, installing a tow hook is legal as long as it complies with the regulations for the specific vehicle model. However, tow hooks that protrude beyond the body of the vehicle are not allowed to be installed, as Article 16, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that unauthorized modification of the structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle is illegal.

I remember when driving the Song MAX, the position of the rear tow hook was right in the center area underneath the rear bumper, usually covered by a small square or round plastic cover. You need to crouch down and carefully look at the bottom of the bumper—the cover is embedded there, typically color-matched to the car body. First, gently tap or press a few times with your fingers to feel the cover, then use your fingernail or a small tool to pry it open. Inside is the tow hook mounting point: a threaded hole. The car usually comes with a tow hook bolt, which needs to be screwed in first. Never pull directly to avoid damaging the paint or bumper. The first time, I was confused, but later found it by checking the user manual. The fixed position is designed to evenly distribute force during towing and protect the vehicle's chassis. Different versions might have slightly different cover designs, but it's basically in the same spot. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the location beforehand so you can handle emergencies quickly, and always be mindful of the towing weight limit to avoid overloading.

As someone who often tinkers with cars, I find the rear tow hook on the Song MAX quite cleverly hidden: it's located at the center bottom of the rear bumper, near the area below the spare tire. Usually, there's a removable plastic cover concealing it. If you crouch down, you'll notice a small protrusion or indentation—that's the designed mounting hole for the tow hook bolt. I've personally tried it; after removing the cover, just screw in the included tow hook tightly, and it's ready to go—very convenient. The placement is well thought out, maintaining aesthetics while preventing dirt blockage. But remember, always operate with the car parked securely—safety first—avoid doing this on slopes or highways. Also, the cover's shape might slightly vary by model year, but the core mounting hole is definitely centered on the bumper. When towing, ensure the hook is securely fastened to prevent accidents; I've seen minor mishaps from improperly locked hooks.

I drove my friend's Song MAX, and the rear tow hook is right under the bumper. Squat down and look under the rear end to find a small round cover. Pry open the cover, and you'll see the threaded hole. You need to screw the tow bolt in yourself for use. It's uniformly positioned at the center point to protect the chassis from scratches. Always install the hook when the car is parked to avoid harming people or the vehicle.

My Experience with the Song MAX: The rear tow hook is located beneath the center of the rear bumper, hidden behind a small cover. First, turn off the engine and engage the handbrake to ensure stability, then squat down at the rear of the car to inspect. The cover is usually made of plastic and can be removed with a gentle push. The mounting point is right there—install the tow hook bolt according to the manual. The design is discreet yet straightforward. When towing, be mindful of the distance between the holes to avoid pulling too hard and deforming the bumper. I always remind everyone: adjust the tow rope to the proper length before starting to prevent sudden impacts that could dislodge the hook or damage components. Also, if the cover isn’t properly secured, dust can easily accumulate, so clean it regularly.

What to Do When the Front Tire of a Dongfeng Honda CRV Blows Out?

In case of a sudden tire blowout, avoid slamming the brakes or jerking the steering wheel. If necessary, you can use intermittent braking to reduce speed. Remove the damaged tire and replace it with the spare tire. You can call the 4S shop or your insurance company, or dial 114 to request road assistance or a tow truck for rescue. Place a triangular warning sign 50-100 meters behind the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic of the situation ahead and seek help if possible.

Why Can Sleeping in a Car with Air Conditioning On Lead to Poisoning?

Sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on can lead to poisoning for the following reasons: 1. High carbon monoxide concentration outside the car: At idle speed, even outdoors, if there is no wind, carbon monoxide can accumulate around the car, and the concentration increases over time. 2. Using the external circulation mode: A large amount of carbon monoxide from outside the car can be drawn into the interior, causing carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods to reduce the risk of death when sleeping in a car with air conditioning on: 1. Parking location: First, choose to park the car in an open, spacious, and well-ventilated area, with the front of the car facing the wind direction so that exhaust fumes are blown away. Avoid parking in poorly ventilated parking lots or small indoor spaces. 2. Switching modes: When using the air conditioning in the car, switch from internal circulation to external circulation. Do not keep the internal circulation on for too long, as the air inside the car will gradually decrease, and carbon monoxide levels will rise, leading to poisoning and potentially death. 3. Opening windows: Always leave the car windows slightly open, with a gap of 2CM to 3CM. The more windows are open, the better, but avoid opening them too wide to prevent any malicious individuals or other unusual situations.

How to Remove the Spare Tire of a G-Class?

At the very end of the trunk, there will be a screw for removing the spare tire. Find a small black cover, open it, and you will see the nut. Locate the nut that secures the spare tire (the spare tire is fixed to the car chassis with a bolt), and fit the socket head onto the screw in the black hole. Then, insert the breaker bar through the hole in the middle of the socket. Rotate the breaker bar counterclockwise, and the spare tire will slowly descend under the traction of the steel cable or chain. Once the spare tire drops, pry off the protective panel beneath it to remove the spare tire.
