WARNING
■
When attempting to free a
stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle
back and forth to free it, make
sure the surrounding area is clear
to avoid striking other vehicles,
objects or people. The vehicle
may also lunge forward or lunge
back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.
■
When shifting the shift posi-
tion
Be careful not to shift the shift
position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
This may lead to unexpected
rapid acceleration of the vehicle
that may cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE

To avoid damaging the trans-
mission and other compo-
nents
●
Avoid spinning the rear wheels
and depressing the accelerator
pedal more than necessary.
●
If the vehicle remains stuck
even after these procedures are
performed, the vehicle may
require towing to be freed.
