cle

If you choose to push the vehicle back 

and forth to free it, make sure the sur-

rounding area is clear to avoid striking 

other vehicles, objects or people. The 

vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge 

back suddenly as it becomes free. Use 

extreme caution.

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with 

the accelerator pedal depressed.

This may lead to unexpected rapid accel-

eration of the vehicle that may cause an 

accident resulting in death or serious 

injury.
