FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rock-
ing motion. Turn your steering wheel right and lef t to clear the area around the front
wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE. Using mini-
mal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels, is most effective.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
