8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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 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 acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the transmission and other components
■
Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than nec-
●
essary.
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the vehicle
●
may require towing to be freed.
