What you don’t want to do when your
vehicle is stuck is to spin your wheels.
The method
known as “rocking” can
help you get out when you’re stuck, but
you must use caution.

If you let your tires spin at
high speed, they can explode
and you or others could be injured.
And, the transaxle or other parts of
the vehicle can overheat. That
could cause an engine compartment
fire or other damage. When you’re stuck, spin the wheels as little as
possible. Don’t spin the wheels
above
35 mph (56 km/h) as shown
on the speedometer. Spinning your wheels can destroy
parts of
your vehicle as well as tht
tires. If you spin the wheels too
fast while shifting your transaxle
back and forth,

Rocking Your Vehicle to Get it Out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and
right. That will clear the area around
your front wheels. Then shift back and
forth between
R (Reverse) and a
forward gear (or with a manual
transaxle, between First or Second gear and Reverse), spinning the wheels as
little as possible. Release the accelerator
pedal while you shift, and press lightly
on the accelerator pedal when the
transaxle is in gear. If that doesn’t get
you out after a few tries, you may need
to be towed out.
If you do need to be towed out, see the
Index under Towing Your Chevrolet.

Section C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be performed at least twice a year (for instance, each spring an\

I
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts,
signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for pro\
per
hookup, binding,
leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace
seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system.
Look for broken,
damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or
other conditions which could cause
a heat build-up in the floor an or could let exhaust fumes
into
the vehicle. See the Index under Engine Exhaust.
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed.
-~~
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rot\
ors for surface condition. Inspect
other brake parts, including calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment. You
may need to have your brakes inspected more often
if your driving habits or conditions result in
frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which \
may need to be
serviced.
Also, if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system.
See the Ida under Brake System Warning Light. If your vehicle is
equipped with anti-lock brakes and the anti-lock brake system w\
arning light
stays on, comes on
or flashes, something may be wrong with the anti-lock brake system. See the
Index under Anti-
Lock Brake System Warning Light.
