WARINING
◼
When trying to get out of a stuck vehicle situation
If you move your vehicle back and forth to get out of a trap, make sure the surrounding
area is clear to avoid hitting other vehicles, objects or people. When the vehicle is about
to drive out of the trap, it may suddenly rush forward or backward, so extra care should
be taken.
◼
When operating the shift lever
Do not step on the accelerator pedal by mistake when shifting gears, as this may cause
the vehicle to accelerate suddenly, which could lead to a serious accident.
Notice

If you are unable to get out of a stuck vehicle after trying these methods, you will need
towing assistance.
