Where is the tow hook located on the Dongfeng Fengguang 580?
2 Answers
The tow hook of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is located at the rear of the vehicle body and can be seen at the back of the vehicle. The tow hook cover, also known as the tow hook panel, is primarily used to cover the tow hook to prevent it from being exposed, enhancing the vehicle's aesthetic appeal. The panel is made of plastic, the same material as the front bumper, and can be freely opened and closed. Its shape and size vary depending on the vehicle model. The towing point is located inside the tow hook cover. Below are some parking precautions: 1. No parking in areas with no-parking signs: No-parking signs indicate that all vehicles are prohibited from parking temporarily or for an extended period within the specified range. 2. No parking within yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate that parking is prohibited in this area for any reason. These are commonly found at intersections, entrances, and exits. 3. Yellow solid lines: Parking is prohibited on roads with yellow solid lines. The length of the yellow solid line indicates the size of the no-parking area. 4. No parking near bus stops: Parking is prohibited in areas such as bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, and fire hydrants.
Last year when I took my Dongfeng Fengguang 580 for an outing, I used the tow hook. The tow hook positions on this car are quite interesting. The front one is at the lower right corner of the front bumper—look closely and you'll see a small square cover. Pry it open to install the tow hook near the right front wheel. The rear one is hidden under the rear bumper and requires crawling under the car to see clearly; it's located near the chassis longitudinal beam, slightly ahead of the spare tire. When installing, be careful not to scratch the paint. The screw holes tend to collect dust, so it's best to have a brush handy for cleaning. Always remember to turn off the ESP system when towing—last time I forgot and almost skidded. Oh, and if you're not using the tow hook regularly, it's advisable to remove and store it to prevent rusting, which can be a hassle. The owner's manual also includes a diagram of the positions, so you might want to check it out when you have time.
