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 shift the shift
lever in “P” (Multidrive or automatic transmission) or “N”
(manual transmission).
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the front
wheels.
Place wood, stones or some other material under the front
wheels to help provide traction.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to the “D” or “R” position (Multidrive or
automatic transmission) or “1” or “R” position (manual
transmission) and release the parking brake. Then, while
exercising caution, depress the accelerator pedal.
Press the button to turn off TRC.
When your vehicle becomes stuck and
cannot move, the emergency hook is
used for another vehicle to pull your vehi-
cle out in an emergency.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow
another vehicle.

designed for towing.
