The new BMW X3 trailer hook is usually placed in the tool kit in the trunk. To find the trailer hook, just lift the trunk mat and open the storage box below. The trailer hook is in this tool kit.
When using the trailer hook, you first need to find the trailer hook position behind the towing vehicle and in front of the towed vehicle. There will be clear markings in the vehicle manual. Whether it is a soft or hard towing tool, you must ensure that the connection to the car hook is firm and reliable during installation. If there is a safety lock on the towing hook, be sure to lock it in place.
In addition, for non-four-wheel drive vehicles, just put the gearbox in neutral when towing. For the BMW X3, there is a switch in the right side guard plate of the vehicle trunk. After opening, the tow hook will automatically rotate out and stand up directly below the rear end. In addition, there are small plastic covers at the front and rear. Open the trunk and take out the long screws to screw them on.
When installing the trailer hook, it should be noted that small and micro passenger cars can be equipped with front and rear anti-collision devices, but they must comply with regulations. It is illegal to modify the structure, construction and characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization, so the trailer hook must be used legally and in compliance with regulations.
When looking for the trailer hook, you can also check the position between the headlights and the front bumper of the vehicle, where there is a small square module. Use a screwdriver to gently pry this small square module, pry out the small module cover, and then screw the trailer hook clockwise onto the small module. If it cannot be twisted, it is successfully installed.
In short, finding and using the trailer hook of the BMW X3 requires following certain steps and precautions to ensure safety and legality.
