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 Reverse
and Drive. Usually the least accelerator pedal pressure to
maintain the rocking motion without spinning the
wheels is most effective.

NOTE:

Turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

before rocking the vehicle. For details, refer to “Electronic
Stability Program,” or “Traction Control” in this manual.
