When the vehicle is stuck, ● Place stones or wooden blocks under the tires to free the vehicle. ● Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4LO. ● If it is difficult to free the vehicle, repeat forward and backward movement to increase the movement. ● If the vehicle is stuck deep in mud, tire chains may be effective. CAUTION ● Do not spin the tires excessively. Tires will sink deep into the mud, making it difficult to free the vehicle. ● Avoid shifting gears with the engine running at high speeds as this may cause malfunction. Starting and driving 5-27
