You’re

Stuck:

In Sand, Mud,

Ice

or Snow

What you

don’t

want to do when your vehicle is stuck

to spin your

wheels. The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re

stuck, but you must use caution.

...,

....

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.

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

“R’

(Reverse) 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. If that doesn’t 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’’ in the Index.
