the wheels as little as possible.
Wait until the wheels stop
spinning before shifting gears.

Recovery Hooks (If
equipped)

You may use them to pull the
vehicle out if it is stuck in sand,
mud, snow, etc.
CAUTION
Always pull the vehicle straight
out. Never pull on the hooks at
a sideways angle.
The hooks could break off and
you or others could be injured
from the chain or cable snap-
ping back.
NOTICE
Never use the hooks for towing
your vehicle. The vehicle could
be damaged and the repairs
would not be covered by your
warranty.
