Driving Tips

Rocking the Vehicle

WARNING
Do not spin the wheels at high speed,
and do not allow anyone to stand
behind a wheel when pushing the
vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning
the wheels at high speed is dangerous.
The spinning tyre could overheat and
explode. This could cause serious
injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transmission failure, and
tyre damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever
from 1 (D) to R.
For 4×4 vehicles, starting in 4-wheel drive
may provide better traction.
