If it is necessary to use the above
procedure to move the gearshift, it
is possible that a fuse has blown
and the vehicle’s brakelamps may
not be operating properly. For
more information on fuses and fuse
replacement, refer to Fuses and
relays in the Roadside
emergencies chapter.
Do not drive your vehicle
until you verify that the
brakelamps are working.
If an automatic transaxle vehicle
gets stuck in mud or snow it may
be rocked out of the spot. To rock
the vehicle out, shift between
forward and reverse gears in a
steady rhythm. Press lightly on the
accelerator in each gear. Do not
rock the vehicle for more than a
few minutes; this could damage
the vehicle.
Do not spin the wheels at
over 55 km/h (35 mph).
The tires may fail and injure a
passenger or bystander.
