WARNING
■When attempting to f ree a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, ma ke sure the
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, obj ects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle t hat may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

● Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are pe rformed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
● When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid tem perature
is displayed while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediat ely remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message
