CAUTION
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
■
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or persons.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.
■ When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ To avoid damaging the transmission and other components
Avoid spinning the wheels and do not rev the engine.
●
● If the vehicle remains stuck after trying these procedures, the vehicle may
require towing to be freed.
● When the automatic transmission fluid temperature warning light comes
on while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning light turns off. Other-
wise, the transmission may become damaged. (P. 487)
