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.
