The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

■To avoid damaging the transm ission and other components
● Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
