If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice, or Snow
Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to free your
vehicle when stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See
Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-16 .
If your vehicle has a traction system, it can often help to
free a stuck vehicle. Refer to your vehicle’s traction
system in the Index. If the stuck condition is too severe
for the traction system to free the vehicle, turn the
traction system off and use the rocking method.
{
CAUTION:
If you let your vehicle’s tires spin at high speed,
they can explode, and you or others could be
injured. The vehicle can overheat, causing an
underhood compartment fire or other damage.
Spin the wheels as little as possible and avoid
going above 35 mph (55 km/h) as shown on the
speedometer.
For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,
see
Tire Chains on page 5-34 .
Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out
First, turn the steering wheel left and right to clear
the area around the front wheels. Turn off any traction
or stability system. See
Traction Control System
(TCS) on page 4-5 and StabiliTrak
®
System on
page 4-6 . Then shift back and forth between
REVERSE (R) and DRIVE (D) or LOW (L), spinning the
wheels as little as possible. Wait until the wheels
stop spinning before shifting. Release the accelerator
pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator
pedal after shifting. By slowly spinning the wheels in
the forward and reverse directions, you will cause
a rocking motion that could free your vehicle. If that does
not get your vehicle out after a few tries, it might need
to be towed out. If your vehicle does need to be
towed out, see
Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-22 .
