To use the towing hook:
Remove the cover from the front
bumper using your fingers, or pry
it off using a cloth and a flat-tip
screwdriver to prevent scratches.
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
detachable towing hook that mounts
on the anchor in the front bumper.
When you need to release the
steering lock while your vehicle’s
battery is dead, do this:
Follow the proper jump starting
procedures, Step 1 through Step 5,
to apply the power to your vehicle
(see pages
and ).
Follow the jump starting
procedures, Step 8 and Step 9, and
the instructions to disconnect the
jumper cable (see page
). The
steering will remain unlocked even
if the battery is dead.
Failure to comply means the steering
lock may be damaged.
Press the ENGINE START/STOP
button to set the power mode to
ACCESSORY (see page
) and
verify the steering lock is released.
Remove the towing hook and
wheel nut wrench from the tool
case in the spare tire (see
).
