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 may be 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.
