First, turn the steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area around the front wheels. If your vehicle has traction control, you should turn the system off. See Traction Control System (TCS) . Then shift back and forth between REVERSE (R) and a forward gear, or with a manual transaxle, between FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) and REVERSE (R), spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transaxle is in gear. By slowly spinning the wheels in the forward and reverse directions, you will cause a rocking motion that may free your vehicle. If that does not get your vehicle out after a few tries, it may need to be towed out. Or, you can use the recovery hook if your vehicle has one. If your vehicle does need to be towed out, see Towing Your Vehicle .
