WARNING
When  hazardous  driving conditions     If  it is  necessary to  rock the vehicle
are   encountered   such   as   water,     to  free it  from snow,  sand,  or mud,
snow, ice, mud or sand:
Drive cautiously and  allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements  in braking
or steering.
If stuck  in snow,  mud, or  sand, use
second  gear.  Accelerate   slowly  to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
If  the tires  spin  at  high  speed
the  tires can  explode, and  you
or others may be injured. Do not
attempt this procedure if people
or  objects  are  anywhere   near
the vehicle.
The vehicle  can overheat caus-
ing an engine  compartment fire
or   other    damage.   Spin    the
wheels as little  as possible and
avoid  spinning   the  wheels   at
speeds  over 35  mph (56  km/h)
as indicated  on the  speedome-
ter.
first turn the steering wheel right and
left  to  clear  the  area  around  your
front  wheels.  Then,  shift  back  and
forth  between  1st and  R  (Reverse,
for  manual  transaxle  vehicle)  or  R
(Reverse)  and  a  forward  gear  (for
automatic  transaxle  vehicle). Try  to
avoid  spinning  the  wheels, and  do
not race the engine.
To prevent  transaxle wear, wait  until
the   wheels   stop  spinning   before
shifting gears. Release the accelera-
tor  pedal  while  shifting,  and  press
lightly on the accelerator pedal while
the transaxle is  in gear. Slowly spin-
ning   the   wheels   in  forward   and
reverse directions  causes  a rocking
motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving  on slip-
pery   surfaces   can  cause   an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the  tires
to skid.  Be careful when  down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non-slip
material  under  the  drive  wheels to
provide traction  when stalled  in  ice,
snow, or mud.
