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.

Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will
clear the area around your front wheels. If your vehicle
has traction control, you should turn your traction
control system off. See “Traction Control System” in the
Index. Then shift back and forth between REVERSE (R)
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. By slowly spinning your wheels 
in the forward and reverse directions, you will cause a
rocking motion that may free your vehicle. 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 “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
