Then what are those hooks for?
Recovery. If the vehicle needs to be pulled out of something, like a snow bank or a ditch.
From the manual HERE :
Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four
wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be towed,
see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
NOTICE:
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground will damage drivetrain components.
With current trends in automotive styles and design, it is
essential that the correct towing equipment is used to
tow a vehicle. Your vehicle can be towed with wheel lift
equipment or car carrier equipment. When using wheel
lift equipment, you must have a towing dolly under the
rear wheels when towing from the front and under the
front wheels when towing from the rear.
