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.
Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will
clear the area around your front wheels. Then shift back
and forth between REVERSE
(R)
and a forward gear
(or with a
manual transmission, between FIRST
(
1) or
SECOND ( 2 ) and REVERSE(R)), spinning the wheels
as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal while
you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when the transmission is in gear. If that doesn't get you
out after
a few tries, you may need
to be towed out.
Or, you can use your recovery hooks if your vehicle has
them. If you do need to be towed out, see "Towing
Your Vehicle" in the Index.
Using the Recovery Hooks
P
Your vehicle may be equipped with recovery hooks.
The recovery hooks are provided at the front of your
vehicle. You may need to use them if you're stuck
off-road and need to be pulled to some place
where you
can continue driving.
