RECOVERY STRAP
• Your vehicle may be included with a recovery strap. Recovery straps do not act like
traditional tow straps, chains, or winch cables.
Using Recovery Strap

2. Position the recovery vehicle.
3. Connect the recovery strap.
4. Add a recovery damper or blanket.
5. Clear the danger zone.
6. Safely and slowly start pulling.
7. Disconnect the recovery strap after both vehicles are secure and parked.
WARNING!
Recovery straps should only be used in emergencies to rescue stranded vehicles. Only
use Recovery straps on vehicles that fit within the recommended GVW of your
recovery strap. Only attach recovery straps to OE recommended anchor points or
emergency towing anchor points. Never attach to tow ball or vehicle tie down point,
these are not designed for this purpose. Never attach to vehicle steering, drive train,
or any other suspension components. NEVER pull a strap over sharp edges or abrasive
surfaces that can damage the recovery strap. NEVER use a damaged strap, it has
reduced strength. DO NOT attempt to repair straps. ONLY persons involved in the
recovery should be in either vehicle. No passengers. Anyone inside the vehicles can
be struck by strap recoil, causing serious injury. MOVE bystanders at least 40 feet
from the recovery area when using the recovery strap.
SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE
• If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK
position, you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:
• Turn the engine OFF.
• Apply the parking brake.
• Using a screwdriver or similar tool, carefully separate the shifter bezel and boot
assembly from the center console bezel.

• Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down into the shift lever override
access hole (at the right front corner of the shift lever assembly), and push and
hold the override release lever down.
