What you don't want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your
wheels too fast. The method known as .*rocking" can help you get out
when you're stuck, but you must use caution.
u

Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well
as the tires. If you spin the wheels too Fast while shifting your
transaxle back and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle, see "Tire Chains"

Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area
around your
front wheels. You should turn your traction control system
off. (See "Traction Control System" in the Index.) Then shift back and
forth between REVERSE (R) and a forward gear, 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 aut, see '*Towing Your Vehicle" in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What about gasoline with blending materials that contain oxygen
(oxygenates). such as MTBE or alcohol?
MTBE is ”nlethyl tcl-tiary-butyl ether. Fuel that is 11o more ttlan 15%
MTRE is fine for your vehicle.
Etimol is ethyl or grain alcohol. Propcriy-blended fuel that is no more
than 10% ctizwtol is fine for your velliclc.
“clurmd is methyl or wood alcohol.
.,
Fuel that is more than 5% methanol is bad for your vehicle.
Don’t
use it. It can corrode metal parts in your fuel system and
also damage plastic and rubber parts. That damage wouldn’t be
covered
under your warranty And even at 5% or less, there must
be “cosolvents” and corrosion preventers in this fuel to help
avoid these problems.
G~lsoiines for Cleaner Air
Your use of gasoline with deposit control additives will help prevent
deposits from forming
ill vour engine and fuel s\jstern. That helps keep
your engine L. in tune a11d your emission control $stem working properly.
It‘s good for your vehicle. and you‘ll bc doing vour part for cleaner air.
Many gasolines are now blended with oxygenates. General Motors
recommends that YOU us2 gasolines with these blending materials. such as
MTBE and ethanol. By doing so. you can help clean the air, especially in
those parts of the county that have high carbon monoxide levels.
In addition. some gasoline suppliers are mv producing reformulated
gasolines. These gasoiirm are speciallv designed to reduce vehicle
emissions. General
Motors recornrnshs that you use reformulated
gasoline. By doing so, you can help clean the air, especially in those parts
of the country that have high ozone levels.
You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates,
and if they have been
reformulated
to reduce vehicle emissions.
