FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE 

If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or 

snow, it can often be moved using a rocking 

motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to 

clear the area around the front wheels. For 

vehicles with automatic transmission, push and 

hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then, 

shift back and forth between DRIVE (D) and 

REVERSE (R) (with automatic transmission) or 

SECOND (2) gear and REVERSE (R) (with 

manual transmission), while gently pressing the 

accelerator. Use the least amount of 

accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain 

the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels 

or racing the engine.
