Chevrolet Equinox Owners Manual: Rear Tow Eye
If the vehicle is equipped with a hitch, there is no provision to use the tow eye in the rear of the vehicle. The hitch may be used to load the vehicle onto a flat bed tow truck.
If equipped, carefully open the cover by using the small notch that conceals the rear tow eye socket.
Install the tow eye into the socket by turning it clockwise until it stops in a horizontal position.
When the tow eye is removed, reinstall the cover with the notch in the original position.
To tow the vehicle behind another vehicle for recreational purposes, such as behind a motor home, see Recreational Vehicle Towing.
