Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy
parts of your vehicle as well as the
tires.
If you spin the wheels too fast
while shifting your transmission
back and forth, you can destroy
your transmission.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and
right. That
will clear the area around
your front wheels.
If your vehicle has
ASR, you should turn the system off,
(See “ASR System”
in the Index.)
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.
If you do
need
to be towed out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle’’
in the Index.
