If you get stuck in snow, try switching the system off by pressing the control button, then cautiously apply gas. (Turning the traction control system off may help free the vehicle by allowing the tires to spin freely; applying too much gas may worsen the situation.)

Ensure that the system is in AUX mode. The LCD screen will turn on and the AUX indicator will illuminate. If desired, press the headphone control and plug a 3.5mm headphone into the headphone jack. *With optional side air bag.
