CT200h_OM_OM76197U_(U)8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Set the parking brake and shift the shift po
sition to P. Stop the hybrid system.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material under the tires to help provide
traction.
Restart the hybrid system.
Shift the shift position to D or R, release the parking brake and carefully apply
the accelerator to free the vehicle.
■When it is difficult to free the vehicle
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes
stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
Press to turn off TRAC. ( P. 2 3 6 )
WA R N I N G
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding
area is clear to avoid striking other vehicl es, objects or people. The vehicle may also
lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift positi on with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may cause the vehicle to
accelerate abruptly, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the hybrid transmission and other components
●Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than neces-
sary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after th ese procedures are performed, the vehicle
may require towing to be freed.

■Tr a c t i o n A A , A , B , C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they rep-
resent the tire’s ability to stop on we
t pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government te st surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highes t), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated and
not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessiv e loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
