CAUTION
■
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lu nge back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.
■ When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever 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 damage to the transmission 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 vehicle may require towing to be freed.
● When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid temperature
is displayed while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message
disappears. Otherwise, the transmission may become damaged.
