If You're Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice Or Snow - Cadillac 1996 DeVille Owner's Manual

~~~ ~ ~~ ~
NOTICE:
When the compact spare is installed, don't take
your vehicle through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on
the rails. That can damage the tire and wheel,
and maybe other parts of your vehicle.
Don't use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And don't mix your compact spare tire or wheel with
other wheels or tires. They won't fit. Keep your spare
tire and its wheel together.
NOTICE:
Tire chains won't fit your compact spare. Using
them can damage your vehicle and can damage
the chains too. Don't use tire chains on your
compact spare.

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 too fast. The method known as
"rocking" can help you get out when you're stuck, but
you must use caution.
A
CAUTION:
If you let your tires spin at high speed, they
can
explode, and
you or
others could be injured. And,
the transaxle or other parts of the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine compartment
fire or other damage. When you're stuck, spin the
wheels as little as possible. Don't spin the wheels
above 35 mph (55 kdh) as shown on the
speedometer.
