The tow hook on the Haval M4 is located behind a small plastic cover on the front bumper of the rear of the vehicle. Prying open this cover reveals the installation point for the tow hook and tow rope. Correct towing operation: Locate the tow hook positions at the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the towed vehicle. Some vehicles have split-type tow hooks that require assembly before use. After removing the cover on the bumper, assemble the hook that comes with the vehicle. Install the towing equipment. The towing vehicle should start in first gear to ensure sufficient torque for adequate pulling force, while also controlling speed to maintain smooth driving. Increase power output when slight resistance is felt. For manual transmission vehicles, avoid abruptly releasing the clutch pedal; instead, use the half-clutch method for a slow start to prevent damage to the vehicle. Meaning of tow hook: The tow hook, also known as the tow ring, can be referred to by either name, such as vehicle tow hook or towing tow ring, etc. It is generally placed at the very front of the tow vehicle and serves the purpose of towing the vehicle body.

Haha, I'm quite familiar with the tow hook location of the Haval M4, as I've been driving this car for several years. Generally, the tow hook is hidden under the front or rear bumper. Specifically, there's a small square cover on the lower part of the front end—you need to gently pry it open to reveal the circular tow hole. I remember when I first used it, I almost couldn't find it—it's designed to be hidden to prevent daily scratches. Besides the location, the key is to use it correctly: after hooking the dedicated tow rope into the hole, never force a tow at high speeds to avoid damaging the chassis. Also, don’t neglect regular maintenance—keep the hole clean to prevent rust and blockages. Here’s a little tip: if the tow hook is missing or doesn’t match, go to the 4S store immediately for an original replacement, as aftermarket parts can easily cause issues. Overall, the Haval M4’s design is very practical—as long as you familiarize yourself with the location beforehand, you can handle emergencies with ease.

Hey, as a Haval M4 owner, I found the tow hook is located right under the front bumper, specifically in the middle-lower part where there's a small plastic cover. Just apply a bit of force to pry it open, and you'll see the circular towing eye. I was all thumbs when I first looked for it, but gradually got used to it. Remember to check if the cover is loose or missing first.

Also, expanding on related points: Ensure the engine is off and the handbrake is engaged during towing operations to avoid vehicle damage. For rear towing, there might be anchor points on the rear bumper, though they're rarely used. Beginners are advised to carry a simple toolkit with a spare tow hook. Safety first—don’t cut corners by using makeshift anchor points, as it could lead to accidents.

During regular car washes, take a quick glance at the towing eye to keep it clean and prolong its lifespan. In short, once you know the location, things become much easier.

I'm a car mechanic who frequently deals with Haval M4 owner issues. The tow hook is fixed at the center bottom of the front bumper, where there's a cover plate. After opening it, you'll find a round towing hole. The design aims to prevent exposure during collisions, so it's highly concealed. In practical operations, if the cover plate is missing or blocked, it might be jammed by mud or debris. Importantly, always use standard towing tools when towing to avoid forcibly pulling and causing bumper cracks. Other considerations: Check the vehicle manual to confirm specific specifications. The Haval M4 has limited towing capacity, so don't overload it. It's recommended that car owners inspect the towing point condition every six months and replace worn parts promptly. Remembering the location is easy, but daily maintenance is more crucial.

Can National III Trucks Still Undergo Annual Inspection?

National III vehicles can still be inspected currently, and they should remain eligible for inspection for another 2-3 years, as there is no unified standard yet. In theory, privately-owned gasoline-powered vehicles meeting the National III emission standards can continue to be driven as long as they pass the annual inspection at local motor vehicle inspection stations. They can still operate normally on the road, but they are restricted from driving in certain areas with traffic limitations. Since 2019, many regions and cities across the country have begun implementing the National VI standards. With the enforcement of National VI standards, National II and National III vehicles will be phased out or face driving restrictions. Many cities have already started restricting National III vehicles. The government has introduced strict emission standards to regulate automakers, encouraging them to produce more environmentally friendly vehicles. As environmental pollution becomes increasingly severe, countries worldwide are implementing stricter emission standards to limit vehicle exhaust emissions. This approach is beneficial and plays a positive role in protecting the Earth's environment.

Where to Inflate Car Tires with Low Pressure?

For cars with insufficient tire pressure, you can go to an auto repair shop or a 4S dealership, as they usually have professional inflation equipment. Alternatively, you can equip your car with a portable electric air pump for convenient tire inflation anytime. The inflation pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended value. When the tire pressure is too high, you need to release some air. If you have a dial-type tire pressure gauge, unscrew the tire valve cap, locate the center pin of the valve, and press it lightly. Then, while referring to the pressure gauge, press the air release valve until the tire pressure returns to the normal range. When the tire pressure is too low, start the vehicle and connect one end of the electric air pump to the car and the inflation end to the tire valve. Set the pressure pump according to the manufacturer's recommended value, then turn on the air pump to inflate. Once the preset tire pressure is reached, the air pump will automatically stop working.

What does EPS mean on a car?

EPS on a car stands for Electric Power Steering system. If the EPS warning light flashes on the dashboard, there may be a fault in the vehicle's electric power steering system. When the EPS warning light flashes, it is recommended to stop driving and have it checked at a repair shop or 4S store. A malfunction in the electric power steering system may result in the loss of power steering assistance, causing the steering wheel to suddenly become heavy. If an emergency situation arises where evasive action is needed, the consequences could be unimaginable. Vehicle power steering systems are generally either electric or hydraulic. Electric power steering is accomplished through an electric motor. Hydraulic power steering systems have a hydraulic fluid reservoir in the engine compartment and a power steering pump.
