If your vehicle becomes stuck

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
the
forward and backward.
Two−wheel drive models—Turn off the
traction control system to become un-
stuck to allow the tires to spin enough
to remove the vehicle from the obstruc-
tion. (For details, see "Traction control
system" on page 151 in Section 1−6.)
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation
the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
