7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■
When attempting to free a stuck vehi-
cle
If you choose to push the vehicle back
and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking
other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge
back suddenly as it becomes free. Use
extreme caution.
■
When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid accel-
eration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
■
To avoid damaging the transmission
and other components
●
Avoid spinning the rear wheels and
depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
●
If the vehicle remains stuck even after
these procedures are performed, the
vehicle may require towing to be freed.
