Problems
on
the
Road
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy
parts of your vehicle as well as the
tires. If you spin the wheels too fast
while shifting your transmission back
and forth, you can destroy your trans-
mission.
Rocking your vehicle
to
get
it
out:
First,
turn
your steering wheel left and
right. That
will
clear the area around your
front wheels. Then shift back and forth
between
“R”
(Reverse) and a forward
gear (or
with
a
manual transmission,
between First or Second gear and
Reverse), 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.
Using
the Recovery
Hooks
If
you ever get stuck
in
sand,
mud,
ice or
snow, your Tracker 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.
NOTICE:
Never use the recovery hooks to
tow
the vehicle. Your Tracker could be
darnaged
and
it
would not be covered
by
warranty.
