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. If you have a
four-wheel drive vehicle, shift into 4HI. 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.
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.
