• Press the brake pedal with more force

than normal since you will have
reduced brake performance.

• More steering effort will be required

because the power steering system
will be disabled.

• If you are driving down a long hill, the

brakes may overheat and brake per-
formance will be reduced. Stop often
and let the brakes cool off.

NOTICE

To prevent internal damage to the trans-

mission, never tow your vehicle from the

rear (backwards) with all four tires in

contact with the surface.

Tips for towing a stuck vehicle

The following methods are effective
when your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand
or similar substances that prevent the
vehicle from being driven out under its
own power.
• Remove the soil and sand, etc. from

the front and the back of the tires.

• Place a stone or wood under the tires.
