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.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,
see "Tire Chains" in the Index.
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
1
your traction control system off. (See "Traction Control
1
System" in the Index.) Then shift back and forth
between REVERSE (R) and
a
forward gear, spinning the
1
wheels as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal
~
while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator
pedal when fie 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
Vehicle'' in the Index.
