I f
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.
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
4
2
high speed, they can explode
and you or others could be injured.
And, the transmission and 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 km/h) as shown on the
speedometer.
Spinning your wheels can destroy
parts of
your vehicle as well as th
tires. If you spin the wheels too
fast while shifting your
transmission back and forth, you
can
destroy your transmission.
