If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow In order to free your vehicle when it is stuck, you will need to spin the wheels, but you don't want to spin your wheels too fast. The method known as "rocking" can help you get out when you're stuck, but you must use caution. If you let your tires s 1 at high speed, they can explode, and you or others could be injured. And, the transaxle or other parts the of vehicle can overheat. That could cause an engine compartment fire or other damage. When you're stuck, spin the wheelsas little as possible. Don't spin the wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h) as shown on the speedometer. Notice: Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your transaxle back and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.See "Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out."
