If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow  - Automatic transmission operation - Driving - Lincoln MKX Owners Manual - Lincoln MKX

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

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.

It may be beneficial to turn the AdvanceTrac with RSC system off so the wheels are allowed to spin.
