Manual DescriptionAvoid sudden braking, acceleration, and turning; such operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck. l If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or muddy roads, it can often be moved a rocking motion. Move the selector lever rhythmically between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE) position (with manual transmission, between 1st and Reverse), while applying slight pressure to the accelerator pedal.
l It is recommended to start the vehicle with parking brake partially, but not completely, applied by slightly pulling the parking brake lever. After the vehicle has become free, do not forget to release the parking brake. l If it is necessary to drive in extremely muddy conditions, the use of tyre chains is recommended.
Because the extent of muddy conditions is difficult to judge and the vehicle could become bogged down very deeply, operation should be at a low speed. If possible, get out of the vehicle and check the conditions ahead before proceeding.
