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. By slowly
spinning your wheels in the forward and reverse
directions, you will cause a rocking motion that may free
your vehicle.
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 on
page
4-45.
Your vehicle may be equipped with recovery hooks. The
hooks are provided at the front 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.
