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, thej In
explode, and you or others could be injured. And,
the transmission 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 k m h ) a s shown
on the speedometer.
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 transmission back
and forth, you can destroy your transmission.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,
