Dodge Journey: FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between REVERSE and 1st gear. Using the least accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels is most effective.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control,
turn the system OFF before attempting to
“rock” the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Stability
Program (ESP)” in “Starting and Operating”
for further information.
CAUTION:
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between
1st and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage
may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure.
It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING:
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated
by excessive wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s
wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping
when you are stuck and do not let anyone near
a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
