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 don’t want to spin your
wheels too fast. The method known as “rocking” can
help you get out when you’re stuck, but you must
use caution.
JOU
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’re stuck, spin the wheels as little as
possible. Don’t
spin
the wheels above
25
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.
