When trouble arises
CAUTION
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surround-
ing area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may
also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme cau-
tion.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift leve r with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transm ission and other components
●Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than
necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the vehi-
cle may require towing to be freed.
