Emergency Towing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.

Flat-bed Tow Truck - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a flat-bed tow truck. This is the best way of transporting the vehicle.

To accommodate the flat-bed tow truck equipment, the vehicle is equipped with a detachable front towing hook (A), front tie down hook slots (B), a rear towing hook (C), and the rear tie down hook slots (D).

The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the flat-bed tow truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the flat-bed tow truck.

NOTE: The tie down hook slots use rubber plugs (E) to cover the openings.
