If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

If necessary, try turning the Traction Control娂 system off. This will allow

the wheels to spin, which may help to free your stuck vehicle. For more

information, refer to Traction Control娂 (if equipped) in this chapter.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly especially when the depth is not known. Never drive through

water that is higher than the bottom of the hubs (for trucks) or the

bottom of the wheel rims (for cars). When driving through water,

traction or brake capability may be limited. Also, water may enter your

engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine or your vehicle may

stall. Driving through deep water where the transmission vent

tube is submerged may allow water into the transmission and

cause internal transmission damage.

Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your

vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.

Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes.
