Rocking The Vehicle - Mazda 6 Owner's Manual

Before Driving
Driving Tips
WARNING
Do not install two oor mats, one on
top of the other, on the driver's side:
Installing two oor mats, one on top
of the other, on the driver's side is
dangerous as the retention pins can
only keep one oor mat from sliding
forward.
Loose oor mat(s) will interfere with
the foot pedals and could result in an
accident.
When using an all weather mat for
winter, always remove the original oor
mat.
When setting a oor mat, position the
oor mat so that its grommets or retainers
are inserted over the pointed end of the
retention posts.

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, transaxle failure, and tyre
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever
from 1 (D) to R.
