If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow, call a towing service to pull it out (see the previous page). For very short distances, such as freeing the vehicle, you can use the detachable towing hook that mounts on the anchors in the front and rear bumpers. Front COVER WHEEL NUT WRENCH TOWING HOOK 1. Remove the cover, put cloth on the edge of the cover and carefully pry with a small flat-tip screwdriver or a metal fingernail file. The cover is attached to the bumper with a tether. 2. Remove the towing hook and wheel nut wrench placed behind a cover under the cargo area. 3. Screw the towing hook into the hole, and tighten it with the wheel nut wrench. 536 2009 Pilot
