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.
CAUTION

Tow chains or cables must be attached
only to the vehicle recovery hooks or
main structural members of the vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle body will be dam-
aged.

Do not use the vehicle tie downs to free a
vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
Never tow the vehicle using the vehicle tie
downs or recovery hooks.
O
Always pull the cable straight out from
the front of the vehicle. Never pull on the
hook at an angle.

Pulling devices should be routed so they
do not touch any part of the suspension,
steering, brake or cooling systems.

Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas
straps are not recommended for use in
vehicle towing or recovery.
Automatic transmission
To tow a vehicle equipped with an auto-
matic transmission, an appropriate ve-
hicle dolly
MUST
be placed under the
towed vehicle’s drive wheels.
Always
follow the dolly manufacturer’s recom-
mendations when using their product.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow,
mud, etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control
System.
2. Make sure the area in front and be-
hind the vehicle is clear of obstruc-
tions.
3. Turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear an area around the front tires.
4. Slowly rock the vehicle forward and
backward.
Shift back and forth between R (re-
verse) and D (drive).
Apply the accelerator as little as pos-
sible to maintain the rocking motion.
Release the accelerator pedal before
shifting between R and D.
Do not spin the tires above 35 MPH (55
km/h).
5. If the vehicle cannot be freed after a
few tries, contact a professional
towing service to remove the vehicle.
