5-33
7 Moving out of mud, snow or sand
CAUTION
Do not try to free a stuck vehicle for more than 5
minutes. Prolonged rocking motion will damage
the transmission, as the transmission oil
quickly heats up to a dangerous temperature.
Move the gearshift lever between the “D” and “N”
positions to rock the vehicle and thereby get it out of
the mud, snow, or sand.
8 Short stops
CAUTION
On an uphill road, avoid stopping the vehicle by
only using the accelerator pedal, as this could
cause slipping or a broken clutch. Always use
the brake pedal to stop the vehicle on an uphill
road.
WARNING
Be sure to check safety around the vehicle
before moving the vehicle by using fore-and-
aft rocking motion. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.
WARNING
Never race the engine when the vehicle is
stopped. If the gearshift lever happens to
have been placed in any position other than
“P” or “N”, the vehicle will suddenly lurch
and could cause a serious accident.
