If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud,

Ice or Snow

In order to free your vehicle when it is stuck, you will

need to spin the wheels, but you do not want to

spin your wheels too fast. The method known as

“rocking” can help you get out when you are stuck,

but you must use caution.

{CAUTION:

If you let your tires spin at high speed, they can

explode, and you or others could be injured.

And, the transmission or other parts of the

vehicle can overheat. That could cause an

engine compartment ﬁre or other damage.

When you are stuck, spin the wheels as little as

possible. Do not spin the wheels above 35 mph

(55 km/h) as shown on the speedometer.

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 on page 5-71.

Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will

clear the area around your front wheels. You should turn

your TCS System off. See Traction Control System

(TCS) on page 4-9. Then shift back and forth between

REVERSE (R) and a forward gear, spinning the

wheels as little as possible. For a manual transmission,

shift slowly between either FIRST (1) or SECOND (2)

and REVERSE (R), allowing the wheels to stop

before shifting into gear. Release the accelerator pedal

while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator

pedal when the transmission is in gear. By slowly

spinning your wheels in the forward and reverse

directions, you will cause a rocking motion that may free

your vehicle. If that does not 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 on page 4-33.
