Practical hints

Towing the vehicle

Stranded vehicle

Freeing a stranded vehicle, on which the

wheels are dug into sand or mud, should

be done with the greatest of care, especial-

ly if the vehicle is heavily loaded.

Avoid pulling the vehicle abruptly or diago-

nally, since it could result in damage to the

chassis alignment.

Never try to free a vehicle that is still cou-

pled to a trailer.

If possible, a vehicle equipped with trailer

hitch receiver should be pulled backward

in its own previously made tracks.
