Stuck in Snow or Mud
If stuck in the snow or mud, follow these steps:
- Shift into a low gear and keep the front wheels straight.
- Gently step on the accelerator. Avoid spinning the wheels.
- Drive slowly forward as far as possible.
- Shift into reverse and slowly back up as far as possible. Do not spin the wheels.
- Shift into a low gear again and drive forward.
- Repeat a forward-backward motion until the vehicle rolls free.
- In deep mud or snow, put boards, tree branches, etc., under the tires. Only take this action when the vehicle is stopped.
