5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

CAUTION

When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.

When shifting the shift lever (vehicles with an automatic transmission)

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

To avoid damaging to the transmission and other components

Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.

If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
