OFF the ground using a flatbed. Always comply with applicable state or local towing
ordinances.

Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
•Donotattempttousesling-typeequipmentwhentowing.Whensecuringthe
vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•Ifyourvehiclebecomesstuckinmud,sandorsnow,itcanoftenbemovedbyarocking
motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Then shift back and forth between 2nd gear and REVERSE. Using minimal accelerator
pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most
effective.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
