NOTICE:
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.

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
(1)
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.
