TABLE OF CONTENTS

EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS
• If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front and the
rear.
NOTE:For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front tow hooks to
minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a vehicle stranded off-road. Do
not use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could damage
your vehicle. Tow straps are recommended when towing the vehicle; chains may
cause vehicle damage.
WARNING!
• Chains are not recommended for freeing a stuck vehicle. Chains may break,
causing serious injury or death.
• Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. Tow straps may become
disengaged, causing serious injury.
SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

lever cannot be moved out of the PARK
position, you can use the following
procedure to temporarily move the shift
lever:
• To access the shift lever override,
remove the rubber cupholder liner to
the right of the shift lever.
• Firmly set the parking brake.
• Turn the ignition switch to the ACC
or ON position without starting the
engine.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on
the brake pedal.
• Using a screwdriver or similar tool, press and hold the override tab through the
access port on the center console.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
