Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That

will clear the area around your front wheels. Then shift

back and forth between REVERSE (R) and a forward

gear, or with a manual transaxle, between FIRST (1) or

SECOND (2) and REVERSE (R), 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. 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. If you do need to be towed out,

see Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-33.

Loading Your Vehicle

It is very important to know how much weight your

vehicle can carry. This weight is called the Maximum

Load weight and includes the weight of all occupants,

cargo, and all nonfactory-installed options. Two labels on

your vehicle show how much weight it may properly

carry; the Tire and Loading Information label and

the Certiﬁcation label.

{CAUTION:

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either

the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight

Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on your

vehicle can break, and it can change the way

your vehicle handles. These could cause you

to lose control and crash. Also, overloading

can shorten the life of your vehicle.
