Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out

First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That
will clear the area around your front wheels. Your vehicle
has a Traction Control System that will activate when
the system senses that the wheels are spinning.
See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9 for
more information. Then, with the wheels straight ahead,
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 transmission
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 does not get
you out after a few tries, you may need to be towed out.
Or, you can use your recovery loops. If you do need
to be towed out, see Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-64.
