Wheel Stuck in Snow, Mud or Sand
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, try to push the vehicle forward and backward
to get it out.
Do not move the vehicle by pushing it forward and backward if there is any person or
object near it. The reason is that the vehicle may get out of the trap and move forward
or backward suddenly when you push it, resulting in personal injury or damage to the
object nearby.
Be sure to gradually slow down the vehicle and keep the vehicle running in a straight
line. Drive the vehicle away from the crowded traffic to a safe place. Avoid stopping
the vehicle on the central fork of an expressway.
Pull up the EPB switch and press the “P” button.
Power off the vehicle and turn on the hazard warning lights.
Be sure to have all passengers get off the vehicle and ask them to go to a safe place
away from crowded traffic.
To prevent the vehicle from sliding, place a stopper block under the tyre in diagonal
direction of the tyre to be replaced.
Do not continue to drive the vehicle with flat tyres. Even if the vehicle runs for a short
distance, the tyres will be damaged to an irreparable extent.
