If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or Snow

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the motor is not at normal operating
temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a
steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
