and reduce the risk of transmission failure
during prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
•
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting
between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not spin
the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or
drivetrain damage may result.
CAUTION!
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels
too fast may lead to transmission over-
heating and failure. It can also damage
the tires. Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no trans-
mission shifting occurring).
