NOTE:Brakes should be applied at increased slippage, but
before coming to a stop to avoid digging into the loose
surface and rendering the operator of the vehicle stuck/
immobile.
If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing a
steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to a stop and
immediately apply the brakes. Once stopped, shift to
REVERSE. Back slowly down the hill allowing the com-
pression braking of the engine to help regulate your speed.
If the brakes are required to control vehicle speed, apply
them lightly and avoid locking or skidding the tires.
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.
