Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out; Using The Recovery Hooks - GMC 1999 Jimmy Owner's Manual

Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear
the area around your front wheels. If you have a four
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. By slowly spinning your wheels in the forward and
reverse directions, you will cause a rocking motion that may
free your vehicle. 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.
