If You’re Stuck: In
Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow
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
42 high speed, they can explode
and you or others could be injured.
And, the transmission and 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
(55 km/h) as shown on the
speedometer. Spinning
your wheels can destroy
parts of your vehicle as well as th
tires. If you spin the wheels too
fast while shifting your
transmission
back and forth, you
can destroy your transmission.

Problems on the Road
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
transmission, 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 transmission is
in gear. If that doesn’t get you
out after a few tries,
you may need to be towed out. Or, you
can use your recovery hooks. If you do
need to be towed out,
see ‘‘Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.
-- --
Using the Recovery Hooks
If you ever get stuck in sand, mud, ice,
or snow, your Tracker is equipped with
recovery hooks. The recovery hooks are
provided at the front and rear of your
vehicle. You may need to use them if
you’re stuck off-road and need to be
pulled to some place where you can
continue driving.
