If your vehicle gets stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it may be rocked out by shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts, in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control™, it may be beneficial to disengage the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control™ system while attempting to rock the vehicle.
Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.
Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage to the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may overheat.
WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer.
WARNING: Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h).
The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
