- Find the sign : it’s usually located on the front bumper (and sometimes on the rear).
- Lift it gently : use a coin or your fingers, without forcing.
- Take the hook out of the trunk : look for it in the first aid kit, it is often stored in the polystyrene near the spare wheel.
- Screw firmly : insert the hook into the threaded hole provided for this purpose.
- Attach the strap or tow bar : and you’re done!
A little reminder : if your car allows it, put it in neutral when towing and remember to release the handbrake.
