Where is the towing hook located on the Lavida Plus?

The towing hook of the Lavida Plus is located inside the rear fender of the vehicle. Towing Hook: Generally refers to the car towing hook, which is usually used for towing purposes. The English name for the car towing system is Towbar. It is the towing and traction device of the car, consisting of an installation bracket, a ball-type towing hook, and a towing power module. How to use the towing hook: Locate the towing hook positions at the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the towed vehicle. Some cars have a split-type towing hook that requires assembly before use. After removing the cover on the bumper, assemble the included hook and install the towing tool. The towing vehicle should start in 1st gear to ensure maximum torque provides sufficient traction.
I've driven the Lavida Plus several times, and the tow hook locations are quite easy to find. They're positioned at the left and right corners of the front bumper, each covered by a small plastic cap. When needed, you can use the hook from the vehicle toolkit or a small screwdriver to pry open the cap, revealing a screw hole where you can attach the tow ring. I remember once when my car got stuck in mud, a friend helped tow it out using this method—it was very quick, but you have to be careful not to scratch the paint. If the cap gets lost, you can get a replacement at a 4S shop to prevent dust from entering. The overall design is quite thoughtful, placing it at the front for easy access during rescue and making the location visible to avoid misuse. Before heading out, I always take a quick glance to ensure it hasn't loosened.
As someone who frequently drives long distances, I pay special attention to the safety of the tow hook location. The tow hooks on the Lavida Plus are located on both sides of the front bumper, covered by circular protective caps. Before use, the caps must be removed—some models require a special pull-ring tool—to prevent misalignment or damage to the vehicle structure during emergency towing. I recommend regularly checking if the caps are secure to avoid accidental detachment and water ingress. The low position minimizes impact on driving, but be cautious to avoid rocks. Keeping a spare cloth to wrap the hook is a good precaution to prevent cuts. Remembering the location ensures quicker assistance in emergencies, avoiding damage to headlights in rainy-day panic. Driving and car maintenance are all about prevention.
