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 and
REVERSE while gently pressing the accelerator .
NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only
be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h)
or less. Whenever the transmission remains in
NEUTRAL for more than two seconds, you must
press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or RE-
VERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pres-
sure that will maintain the rocking motion with-
out spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
