Do not use the vehicle tie downs to free a
vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc.
O
Never tow a 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
vehicle at an angle.

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.
Rocking a stuck vehicle
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow,
mud, etc., use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) 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.
O
Shift back and forth between R (re-
verse) and D (drive) (automatic trans-
mission models) or 1st (low) and R (re-
verse) (manual transmission models).
O
Apply the accelerator as little as pos-
sible to maintain the rocking motion.
O
Release the accelerator pedal before
shifting between R and D (automatic
transmission models) or 1st and R
(manual transmission models).
O
Do not spin the tires above 35 MPH (55
km/h).

few tries, contact a professional
towing service to remove the vehicle.
