Where is the tow hook on the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
2 Answers
The tow hook on the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 is located on the front and rear bumpers. There is a one-inch square plastic cover that can be opened. Take the threaded towing tool from the trunk and screw it in. Speed considerations: When towing, special attention must be paid to speed control and the distance between the two vehicles, as even a slight miscalculation can lead to an accident. Do not drive as fast as usual when towing. It is best to maintain a speed of 20 km/h and never exceed 30 km/h. Maintain proper distance: The speed must not be too fast, and the distance between vehicles must be maintained. The optimal distance is 5-11 meters, so even if the towing vehicle brakes suddenly, the towed vehicle has time to react.
Hey, I often tow small stuff with my Mercedes GLC260. The tow hook is located right below the center of the rear bumper, covered by a small plastic panel that can be easily pried open with fingers or a key. The hook is hidden inside with a pretty discreet design, barely noticeable during normal driving. I always make sure to clean that area during car washes to prevent dirt buildup that might affect its functionality. The manual has detailed illustrations of its exact location in the towing system section. Before towing anything, I always double-check if the hook is securely fastened and avoid exceeding the 100kg weight limit to prevent issues. If it's your first time locating it, you might need a few minutes to find the spot – if all else fails, visit the dealership to check if it was properly installed at the factory. Oh, and during humid weather, I usually apply some anti-rust oil to maintain smooth operation for next use.
