Rocking Your Vehicle
To
Get It Out
Using the Recovery
Hooks
First,
turn
your steering wheel left and right. That will
clear the area around your front wheels.
If
you have
a
four-wheel drive vehicle, shift into 4HI. Then shift back
and forth between
REVERSE
(R)
and
a forward gear
(or with a manual transmission, between
FIRST
(1)
or
SECOND
(2)
and
REVERSE
(R)),
spinning the wheels
as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal while
you
shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when the transmission
is
in gear.
If
that doesn’t get you
out after
a
few tries, you may need to be towed out. Or,
you can use your recovery hooks
if
your vehicle has
them.
If
you do need to be towed out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle”
in
the Index.
Your vehicle
is
equipped with recovery hooks. The
recovery hooks are provided at the front and rear of your
vehicle. You
may
need to use them if you’re stuck
off-road and need to
be
pulled to some place where you
can continue driving.
