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 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.
