The rear towing hook of the Lavida is located inside the rear fender. Relevant information about the towing hook is as follows: Introduction to the towing hook: The towing hook generally refers to the car tow hook, which is mainly used for towing. The English name of the car towing system is Towbar. It is the towing and traction device of the car, consisting of an installation fixed bracket (base anti-collision beam), a spherical towing hook, and a towing power module. Function of the towing hook: As the name suggests, the towing hook is used to tow vehicles. It can be installed at the front or the rear of the car. Generally, SUVs, trucks, and pickup trucks install the towing hook at the rear for towing other vehicles.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for several years and I'm very familiar with the location of the tow hook. It's usually hidden under a round plastic cover at the center or slightly to the right of the front bumper's lower part. You can gently pry it open to reveal the threaded hole. The rear has a similar design at the bottom of the rear bumper. The tow hook accessory is typically stored in the tool kit next to the spare tire in the trunk—you'll need to find it and screw it into place. I remember once when I had a flat tire during a business trip, it took me some effort to locate this spot when calling for roadside assistance. I'd recommend checking the tool kit for completeness when you first get the car. When installing, align it properly with the threads and avoid forcing it to prevent stripping. Safety first—keep a low speed and maintain distance when towing. Always keep the cover closed to avoid dust and rust; just clean it during regular car maintenance. The Lavida's design is quite user-friendly, making the location easy to find and hassle-free.
