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.

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 Cadillac" in the Index.
