Emergency Towing, If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow, call a towing service to pull it out (see page 311). For very short distances, such as freeing the vehicle, you can use the detachable towing hook that mounts on the anchor in the front bumper. Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight. The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position, and make sure the steering wheel turns freely before you begin towing. To use the towing hook: 1. Take the towing hook and the extension out of the tool kit in the cargo area. 2. Put a cloth on the notch of the cover. Using the extension, carefully pry on the notch of the cover to remove it. 312
