1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA towing

If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow I 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. What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is
to spin your wheels too fdst. The method known
as
“rocking” can help you get out when you’re stuck, but
you must use caution.
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. 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 out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle”
in the Index.
