If The Vehicle Is Stuck - Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 2023 Manual

Whenever possible, park in a garage to help
prevent parts from freezing up and to help
make the engine easy to start.
Warning
If you park in a place where there is a lot
of snowfall, snow accumulating around
the vehicle could limit ventilation.
Running the engine with the vehicle in
these conditions could cause exhaust
gases to enter the cabin, resulting in
carbon monoxide poisoning. Take
preventive action by, for example,
clearing the snow around the vehicle.
You and others could be seriously injured.
Do not park under trees or under the eaves
of a building. Chunks of ice could fall on the
vehicle if you park in such a place.
Cleaning the Vehicle after Driving on
Snowy Roads
The vehicle speed sensors are fitted on
the wheels. When removing snow, ice,
and other incrustation, take great care
not to damage the components.
Do not use a sharp implement to remove
snow. Sharp edges could damage rubber
parts. Refer to Antilock Brake System
(ABS) 0 173.
Remove snow that has stuck to the inside of
the fenders and to the brake hoses.
Otherwise, it may damage components.
After driving on a salted road, wash the
underside of the vehicle as soon as possible
to prevent the salt from causing rust.
Spraying water under high pressure is an
effective way to get the salt off.
After washing the vehicle, wipe the door
openings dry.

When Driving on Bad Roads
Freeing the Vehicle from Sand, Mud, Snow
and Ice
If your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud,
snow or ice, move the selector lever from
"Second" to "Reverse". Apply a light pressure
to the accelerator pedal while the
transmission is in gear. Remove your foot
from the accelerator and press the brake
pedal while shifting. Do not race the engine.
For best traction, avoid spinning the wheels.
When you cannot avoid driving through
deep mud, using tire chains is an effective
way to avoid getting stuck.
