Moving the Vehicle Out of Mud
When driving in mud or sand, on soft
ground or on a snow-covered road, select
the lowest possible gear position and drive
slowly.
If the wheels get stuck in mud and the
vehicle is unable to move, use the following
method to move the vehicle out of the mud.
1. Depress the accelerator pedal half
way.
2. Place the selector lever into "1" and
"R" alternately to rock the vehicle
back and forth. Operate the selector
lever in synchronization with the
vehicle movement.
3. After repeating the above operation
several times, depress the accelerator
pedal to move the vehicle out of the
mud.
CAUTION
Do not fully depress the accelerator
pedal when rocking the vehicle back
and forth. In addition, check the
engine coolant temperature gauge
and the automatic transmission fluid
temperature warning light to make
sure the engine and transmission
are not overheating.
