Where is the towing hook located on the Accord?

The towing hooks on the Accord are located at the front left and right sides of the subframe under the vehicle, with two hooks in total. The positions are marked in the vehicle's user manual, and they are typically covered by round or square caps. Here are some precautions to take when towing: Prefer a tow bar: If the towed vehicle has brake issues or if towing is being done on icy or snowy roads, a tow bar should be prioritized. A rigid tow bar helps prevent the towed vehicle from losing control of its speed if the towing vehicle accelerates too abruptly or needs to brake suddenly. Even under normal circumstances, using a tow bar is generally safer. Choose the right hook: The towing hook should not just be "hooked" but securely fastened and properly installed. Always double-check that the hook is securely attached before towing. If the hook comes loose midway, it can cause significant inconvenience. Control speed and distance: Special attention should be paid to speed control and the distance between vehicles during towing, as slight misjudgments can lead to accidents. Do not drive as fast as usual; it's best to maintain a speed of around 20 km/h and never exceed 30 km/h. Many vehicles lack vacuum-assisted braking when not running, so speed must be kept low. Additionally, maintain a safe distance of 5-11 meters between vehicles to allow the towed vehicle enough time to react if the towing vehicle brakes suddenly.
