FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can
often be moved using a rocking motion. Turn the steering
wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Push and hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then shift
back and forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R), while
gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) can only be
achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less. When-
ever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL (N) for more
than two seconds, you must press the brake pedal to engage
DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R).
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will
maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels or
racing the engine.
