NOTICE:
b
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts
of
your
vehicle as well
as
the tires. If
you
spin
the wheels
too
fast
while shifting
your
transmission
back
and forth, you can destroy your transmission.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,
see “Tire Chains” in the Index.
Rocking
Your
Vehicle
To
Get
It Out
First, turn your steering wheel left and right.
That
will
clear the area around your front wheels.
If
your
vehicle
has traction control, you should turn the
system
off. (See
“Traction Control System”
in
the Index.) Then shift
back and forth between
REVERSE
(R)
and
a forward
gear
(or
with
a
manual transmission, between
FIRST
(I)
I
or
SECOND
(2)
and
REVERSE (R)),
spinning the
wheels
as
little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal
while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator
pedal when the transmission is
in
gear.
If
that doesn’t
get you out after
a
few tries, you
may
need to be towed
out.
If
you
do
need to be towed out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle’’
in the Index.
