CAUTION  
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle  
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the  
surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.  
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes  
free. Use extreme caution.

cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

more than necessary.  
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,  
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
