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 lunge 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 damaging 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.
