<FG>
If the vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud, or snow,
free it by driving forward and backward.
P. 7 -11
If this method is not successful, free the vehicle by
towing it as described below.
CAUTION
• Use the towing method described in this
section only to free the vehicle from soft
ground. To tow the vehicle in the event of a
breakdown, use the method described in the
previous section.
• The stranded vehicle must be unloaded com-
pletely.
• Never use the tie-down hook(s) under the
frame for towing purpose. The tie-down hook
is to secure the vehicle when transporting it.
If the hook is used for towing, damage to the
front bumper or frame may result.
1. Tow the stranded vehicle using a vehicle whose
gross weight is equal to that of the stranded
vehicle (14,050 lbs., 6,375 kg). Attach the rope
or wire rope to the towing hook of the towing
vehicle.
