Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out

Turn the steering wheel left and right to clear the

area around the front wheels. Turn off any traction

or stability system. Shift back and forth between

R (Reverse) and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as

little as possible. To prevent transmission wear, wait

until the wheels stop spinning before shifting gears.

Release the accelerator pedal while shifting, and press

lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transmission

is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in the forward and

reverse directions causes a rocking motion that could

free the vehicle. If that does not get the vehicle out

after a few tries, it might need to be towed out. If the

vehicle does need to be towed out, see Towing

Your Vehicle on page 4-26.

Loading the Vehicle

It is very important to know how much weight

your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the

vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of

all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed

options. Two labels on the vehicle show how much

weight it may properly carry, the Tire and Loading

Information label and the Vehicle Certiﬁcation label.

{ CAUTION:

Do not load the 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

the 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

the vehicle.
