If your vehicle gets stuck in sand,
mud, or snow, call a towing service
to pull it out (see page

For very short distances such as
freeing the vehicle, you can use the
tiedown hook on the lower right of
the front bumper. Remove the cover
to expose the hook. This hook is not
for open-road towing (see
