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 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.
Using the Recovery
Hooks
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.
