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
Corth between
R
(Reverse) and a
€orward gear, or with a manual
transaxle, between
1 (First) or 2 (Second)
gear and
R
(Reverse), 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
l n d a under Towing Your Pontiac.
