There is a tool in the trunk that is used by the tow truck to pull the car
onto a flat-bed, or out of a snow bank. The tool screws into a hole that is
behind a cover that is about 2 inches square. Use a screwdriver (also in the
tool kit) to pop the cover off, and screw the loop into the newly exposed
hole.
