Where is the tow hook on the Haval H6?

The rear tow hook of the Haval H6 is located in the plastic tool box under the spare tire, usually placed together with the jack. There is a small cover on the bumper that can be opened to reveal it. The front tow hook is located under the left front tire of the vehicle, where you can see the fixed hole for installing the tow hook. A tow hook, also known as a tow ball, is a towing device connected to the rear crash beam of a vehicle. It is mainly installed on ordinary household vehicles and self-propelled RVs. The function of the tow hook is to tow small trailers or towed RVs, and it can also be used to install rear bicycle racks or luggage carriers, thereby 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 to be under the bumper. You can find a hidden space by inspecting the front and rear bumpers, which is usually covered by a round or square cap—this is where the tow hook is located. When installing the towing equipment, whether it is soft or hard, ensure that the connection to the vehicle's tow hook is secure and reliable. If the tow hook has a safety lock, make sure it is properly locked. Precautions for using the tow hook are as follows: Take wide turns when turning. Since the towed vehicle extends the body and increases the turning radius, making wide turns is recommended to avoid accidents involving pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles. Pay attention to the tire pressure of small trailers. When crossing speed bumps, if the trailer's tire pressure is maintained at the normal 2.5 bar, it may bounce, causing the trailer to detach from the tow hook, which is very dangerous. The reason is that many small trailers use rubber torsion axles for their suspension systems, which provide poor shock absorption. It is recommended to reduce the tire pressure of small trailers to about 1.3 bar so that the tires can also act as shock absorbers. When reversing, it is advisable to first detach the trailer or RV from the tow hook. Reversing while towing can cause the trailer or RV to swing unpredictably, making it difficult to park. Additionally, when reversing a vehicle with a tow hook into a parking space, if there are obstacles or other vehicles behind the space, leave more room than usual; otherwise, the tow hook may collide with the obstacle or vehicle behind. Similarly, be mindful of the rear situation when parallel parking.
I've been dealing with the Haval H6 for many years, and the location of the tow hook is actually quite simple. It's usually right under the front bumper, where there's a plastic cover. Just gently pry it open, and you'll see the metal loop hook. Last time I helped a friend tow a car, I used it—just remember to make sure the car is completely stationary before operating, and don't do it on a slope to avoid the risk of the car sliding. Also, the tow hook is only suitable for towing small to medium loads. If it's too heavy, like exceeding the vehicle's rated towing capacity, it can damage the suspension system. If you can't find it, check the chassis manual—it clearly marks the location and load capacity. Some H6 versions might have front and rear hooks, and there might also be a towing ring near the rear wheels, but the standard model mainly has it at the front. For maintenance, remember to clean off dust to prevent it from getting stuck.
