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. Then shift back
and forth between
REVERSE
(R)
and a forward gear
(or
with
a
manual transmission, b’etween 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.
