1f.You're Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow
What you don't want to do when your vehicle is stuck is
to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as
"rocking" can help you get out when you're stuck, but
you must use caution.

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 (55 kmlh) as shown
on the speedometer.
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your
vehicle as well as the tires. If
you
spin the wheels
too fast while shifting your transaxle back and
forth, you can destroy
your
transaxle.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,
see "Tire Chains" in the Index.
