VEHICLE RECOVERY (freeing a stuck
vehicle)

WARNING

. Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
. Do not spin your tires at high speed.

This could cause them to explode
and result in serious injury. Parts of
your vehicle could also overheat
and be damaged.

Pulling a stuck vehicle

If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.,
use a tow strap or other device designed
specifically for vehicle recovery. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for the recovery
device.

Front:

Securely install the vehicle recovery hook
(stored in the cargo area) as illustrated. Make
sure that the hook is properly secured in the
original place after use.

CAUTION

. Tow chains or cables must be at-

tached only to the main structural
members of the vehicle or the
recovery hook. Otherwise, the vehi-
cle body will be damaged.

. Never tow a vehicle using the vehi-

cle tie downs or recovery hooks.

. Always pull the cable straight out

from the front of the vehicle. Never
pull on the vehicle at an angle.

. Pulling devices should be routed so

they do not touch any part of the
suspension, steering, brake or cool-
ing systems.
