Problems on the Road
■ IF YOUR VEHICLE GETS
STUCK
If your vehicle gets stuck in sand,
mud, ice or snow, you will need to
spin the wheels.
Do not, however, spin the wheels
too fast.
CAUTION
If you let your tires spin at high
speed, they could explode. You
or others could be injured. Also,
the transmission or other parts
of the vehicle could overheat
and cause an engine fire or
other damage.
If the vehicle gets stuck, spin
the wheels as little as possible.
Do not spin the wheels above
55 km/h (35 mph), as shown
on the speedometer.
NOTICE
Spinning the wheels can
destroy parts of the vehicle,
including the tires.
Spinning the wheels too fast
while shifting the transmission
back and forth could destroy
the transmission.
For information about using tire
chains on your vehicle, see "Tire
Chains" under "Tires" in Section 4.
Rocking Your Vehicle
To free your vehicle when it is
stuck:
1. Turn the steering wheel left
and right to clear the area
around the front wheels.
2. Press the Stabilitrak button to
turn the system off.
See "Stabilitrak System" in
Section 1 for information on
the Stabilitrak system.
