If Your Car Gets Stuck

If your car gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow, call a professional towing

service for assistance in getting your car out.

CAUTION:

Do not rev up the engine and allow the wheels to spin freely at
high speed. Severe transmission damage may result if the

wheels are allowed to spin for more than a few seconds.

DO NOT try to free a car with automatic transmission from snow

etc., by rocking the car alternately between forward and reverse
gears. Severe transmission damage may result from shifting into
gear with the wheels moving.
