NOTICE:
Don’t use the existing hoist to store a tire with an aluminum

If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your
wheels. The method
known as “rocking” can help you get out when you’re
stuck, but
you must use caution.
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well as
the tires.
If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transmission back and forth, you can destroy your transmission.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rocking your vehicle to get it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around
your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
“R’ (Reverse) and a
forward gear (or with a manual transmission, between First or \
Second gear and Reverse), spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the
accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal
when the transmission is
in gear. If that doesn’t get you out after a few .tries,
you may need to be towed out. Or, you can use your recovery hooks, if your
vehicle has them.
If you do need to be towed out, see “Towing Your
Vehicle” in the Index.
Using the Recovery Hooks
If you ever get stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, your vehicle may be
equipped with recovery hooks. The recovery hooks are provided at the front
of your vehicle. You may need to use them if you’re stuck off-road and
need to be pulled to some place where you can continue driving.

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll want to get the
proper GM Service Manual. It tells you much more about how to service
your vehicle than this manual can.
To order the proper service manual, see
“Service Publications” in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mil\
eage and the
date
of any service work you perform. See “Maintenance Record” in \
the
Index.
