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.

To use the towing hook:

Take the towing hook and the
extension out of the tool kit in the
cargo area.

Lift the upper part of the cover
from the bumper by pushing the
lower part with your finger. Put a
cloth into the space behind the
upper part of the cover. Using the
extension, remove the cover fully.
