What you don’t want
to
do
when your vehicle is stuck is
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.

If
you
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
35
mph
(55
km/h)
as
shown
on the speedometer.

NOTICE:

Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your

as
the tires. If you spin the wheels
too fast while shifting your transmission back
and forth, you can destroy your transmission.

on
your vehicle,
