Toyota Yaris: Tiedown Hooks (If equipped) / Tiedown Hook-Rear
The hook positioned under the
rear bumper on the right side is for
tying down the vehicle during
transport, and it cannot be used
for towing other vehicles.
It can be used as a towing hook
only when the vehicle must be
towed by another vehicle in an
emergency case such as when
the vehicle is stuck in snow, however, it may damage the bumper.

NOTICE
When using the hook in such emergency cases, observe the following so
as
not to damage the tiedown hook or the vehicle body.
- The vehicle must be pulled straight to the rear so that no load is
applied to
the vehicle in the lateral direction.
- The bumper may be damaged if the tie down hook is used as a towing
hook.
- When using a metal chain or wire cable, wrap a cloth around the
attachment area. If the metal chain or wire cable contacts the bumper
directly, the bumper could be scratched or
damaged.
Remove the tiedown eyelet and the lug wrench from the luggage
compartment.
Wrap a jack lever or similar tool
with a soft cloth to prevent damage to a painted bumper, and
open the cap located on the
front bumper...
