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.
L
If
you let your ures spin at
high speed, they can
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 km/h) as
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,
see "Tire Chains" in the Index.
