FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can
often be moved using a rocking motion. Turn the steering
wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. For vehicles with automatic transmission, push
and hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then shiftback and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE (for auto-
matic transmission) or SECOND GEAR and REVERSE (for
manual transmission) while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission, shifts
between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be achieved at
wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less. Whenever the
transmission remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE
or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will
maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels
or racing the engine.

Emergency Tow Hooks — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, there will be
one in the rear and two mounted on the front of the vehicle.
The rear hook will be located on the driver’s side of the
vehicle.
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.
Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position, and subse-
quently in OFF/LOCK, without opening the door. During
towing, remember that not having the aid of the power
brakes and the electromechanical power steering will re-
quire greater force when applying the brakes and steering
of the vehicle.
