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 peo-
ple. The vehicle may also lunge for-
ward or lunge back suddenly as it
becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■
When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever
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.

■
To avoid damage to the hybrid
transmission and other compo-
nents
Avoid spinning the front wheels and
●
depressing the accelerator pedal
more than necessary.
If the vehicle remains stuck even
●
after these procedures are per-
formed, the vehicle may require
towing to be freed.
