Emergency Towing, If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the
bumpers will cause serious damage.
The bumpers are not designed to
support the vehicle's weight.
The steering system can be damaged if
the steering wheel is locked. Leave the
ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I)
position, and make sure the steering
wheel turns freely before you begin
towing.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in sand,
mud, or snow, call a towing service to
pull it out (see page 313).
For very short distances, such as
freeing the vehicle, you can use the
detachable towing hook that mounts
on the anchor in the front bumper.
To use the towing hook:
1. Take the towing hook and the
extension out of the tool kit in the
cargo area.
2. Put a cloth on the notch of the
cover. Using the extension,
carefully pry on the notch of the
cover to remove it.
