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 transmission.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,
see "Tire Chains''
in
the Index.
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,
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
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.
