Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all

the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again and

repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable from

the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the fuel

as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get out

of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises

every half hour or so until help comes.

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 do not want to

spin your wheels too fast. The method known as rocking

can help you get out when you are stuck, but you

must use caution.

{CAUTION:

If you let your tires spin at high speed, they can

explode, and you or others could be injured.

And, the transaxle or other parts of the vehicle

can overheat. That could cause an engine

compartment ﬁre or other damage. When you

are stuck, spin the wheels as little as possible.

Do not 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 on page 4-30.

For information about using tire chains on your vehicle,

see Tire Chains on page 5-59.
