If
You’re
Stuck:
In
Sand,
Mud,
Ice
or
Snow
What you
don’t
want to do when your
vehicle is stuck is to spin your wheels.
The method known as “rocking” can
help you get out when you’re stuck, but
you must use caution.
‘
If
you let your tires spin at
42
high speed, they can explode
and you or others could be injured.
And, the transmission and 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
35
mph
(55
km/h) as shown on the
speedometer.
Spinning
your
wheels
can
destroy
parts
of
your
vehicle
as
well
as
th
tires.
If
you
spin
the
wheels
too
fast
while shifting your
transmission
back
and
forth,
you
can
destroy your transmission.
