5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and put the shift
lever in “N”.
Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide
traction under the tires.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to the “1” or “R” position and carefully
apply the accelerator to free the vehicle.
If equipped, turn off the TRC and/or VSC system if it is diffi-
cult to get out because of TRC and/or VSC operation.
(P. 224)
When your vehicle becomes stuck and
cannot move, the emergency hooks are
used for another vehicle to pull your vehi-
cle out in an emergency.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow
another vehicle.
