If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,
or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking
motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to
free it.
Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels.
Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can
cause overheating and transaxle failure. Let
the engine idle for a few minutes to cool the
transaxle before trying again.
If your vehicle is still stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truck
service.
 [For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with
the active stability control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels raised
off the ground, the ASC may operate, result-
ing in an accident. When towing the vehicle
with only the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position.
 [For vehicle equipped with the Electronically
controlled 4WD system]
Even in “2WD” mode, the vehicle cannot be
towed with the front or the rear wheels on
the ground.

Operation under adverse
driving conditions
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
sand, mud or snow
WARNING
 When trying to rock your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are no
people nearby. The rocking motion can
make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward
or backward, and injure any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTION

Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper
than it looks, and you could be seriously hurt
by driving into flood water.

When driving in rain, on water-covered
roads, or through a car wash, water could get
into the brake discs and make them fail tem-
porarily. In such cases, lightly press the
brake pedal to see if they are working prop-
erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly
several times while driving to dry the brake
pads or linings, then check them again.
