If You're Stuck In Sand, Mud, Ice Or Snow - Buick 1994 Century Owner's Manual

If
You're
Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow
What you don't want to do when your vehicle is stuck is
to spin your wheels. The method known as "rocking"
can help you get out when you're stuck, but you must
use caution.
I
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 transaxle back and
forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will
clear the area around your front wheels. Then shift back
and forth between "R" (Reverse) and a forward gear,
spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the
accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on
the accelerator pedal when
the
transaxle 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 Buick" in the Index.
