WARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●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.
