If you let your tires spin at
high speed, they can explode
and you or others could be injured.
And, the transaxle or other parts of
the vehicle can overheat. That
could cause an engine compartment
fire or other damage. When you're
stuck, spin the wheels as little as
possible. Don't spin the wheels
above 35 mph (56 h / h ) as shown
on the speedometer.
Spinning your wheels can destroy
parts of your vehicle as well as thc
tires. If you spin the wheels too
fast while shifting your transaxle
back and forth, you can destroy
your transaxle.
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 R (Reverse) and a
forward gear, spinning the wheels as
little as possible. Release the accelerator
pedal while you shift, and press lightly
on the accelerator pedal when the
transaxle is in gear. If that doesn't get
you out after a few tries, you may need
to be towed out. If you do need to be
towed out, see the Index under Towing
Your Pontiac.
