Practical hints

Towing the vehicle

Stranded vehicle

Freeing a stranded vehicle, on which the
wheels are dug into sand or mud, should
be done with the greatest of care, especial-
ly if the vehicle is heavily loaded.

Avoid pulling the vehicle abruptly or diago-
nally, since it could result in damage to the
chassis alignment.

Never try to free a vehicle that is still cou-
pled to a trailer.

If possible, a vehicle equipped with trailer
hitch receiver should be pulled backward
in its own previously made tracks.
