SNOW
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.
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
transaxle back
and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle, see “Tire Chains”
in the Index.
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
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 out, see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
