If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around your front wheels. Then, shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and any forward gear in vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do not race the engine, and spin the wheels as little as possible. If you are still stuck after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid engine overheating and possible damage to the transaxle.
The ESC system should be turned OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION - Vehicle rocking
Prolonged rocking may cause engine overheating, transaxle damage or failure, and tire damage.
WARNING - Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially at speeds more than 35 mph (56 km/h). Spinning the wheels at high speeds when the vehicle is stopped could cause a tire to overheat which could result in tire damage that may injure bystanders.
WARNING - Sudden vehicle movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle if people or objects are nearby. The vehicle may suddenly move forward or backwards as it becomes unstuck.
✽ NOTICE
The ESC system should be turned OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
