FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or snow, it
can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your
steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between RE-
VERSE and DRIVE. Usually, the least accelerator pedal
pressure to maintain the rocking motion without spin-
ning the wheels is most effective.

NOTE:

Turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

before rocking the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Stability
Program,” or “Traction Control” in Section 5.
