If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud,

Ice or Snow

In order to free your vehicle when it is stuck, you will

need to spin the wheels, but you do not want to

spin your wheels too fast. The method known as

“rocking” can help you get out when you are stuck, but

you must use caution.

{CAUTION:

If you let your tires spin at high speed, they

can explode, and you or others could be

injured. And, the transmission or other parts of

the vehicle can overheat. That could cause an

engine compartment ﬁre or other damage.

When you are stuck, spin the wheels as little

as possible. Do not spin the wheels above

35 mph (55 km/h) as shown on the

speedometer.

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 transmission

back and forth, you can destroy your transmission.

For information about using tire chains on your

vehicle, see Tire Chains on page 5-67.

Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will

clear the area around your front wheels. If you have a

four-wheel-drive vehicle, shift into 4HI. 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 transmission is

in gear. By slowly spinning your wheels in the forward

and reverse directions, you will cause a rocking

motion that may free your vehicle. If that does not get

you out after a few tries, you may need to be towed out.

Or, you can use your recovery hooks if your vehicle

has them. If you do need to be towed out, see Towing

Your Vehicle on page 4-44.
