IF
YOU’RE
STUCK:
IN
SAND,
MUD,
ICE
OR
SNOW
-
What
you
don’t want to do when your
vehicle
is stuck
is
to spin your
wheels.
The
method known as “rocking” can help you get
out
when
you’re stuck, but you must use caution.
-
.---
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well
as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transaxle back and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
Rocking your vehicle to get
it
out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That
will
clear
the
area
around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
“R’
(Reverse) and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible.
Release
the
accelerator pedal
while
you shift, and press lightly
on
the
accelerator pedal when the transaxle
is
in
gear.
If
that doesn’t get you
out
after a few tries, you may need
to
be towed out.
If
you
do
need to be
towed out, see “Towing Your Cadillac”
in
the Index.
