avoid spinning the drive wheels.
When  hazardous driving  conditions  are
encountered  such  as  water, snow,  ice,
mud,  sand,   or  similar  hazards,   follow
these suggestions:
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.
Use sand,  rock salt,  or other  non-slip
material under the drive wheels to pro-
vide traction when stalled in  ice, snow,
or mud.
Drive  cautiously  and  allow extra  dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
When  braking  with   non-ABS  brakes
pump the  brake pedal with  a light  up-
and-down  motion  until  the  vehicle  is
stopped.
WARNING - Downshifting
Downshifting   with   an   automatic
transaxle, while driving on slippery
surfaces  can   cause  an  accident.
The  sudden  change  in  tire  speed
could  cause  the  tires  to  skid. Be
careful when  downshifting on slip-
pery surfaces.
CAUTION
WARNING - ABS
Do not  pump the brake  pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
Prolonged
rocking
may

engine over-heating, transaxle dam-
age or failure, and tire damage.
