Vehicle Recovery

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Use the towing hook only, not other parts of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
Use the towing hook only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using only the towing hook.
The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at a sideways angle.
Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
