- Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire.
- Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide traction under the tires.

CAUTION:
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the

area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or persons. The vehicle
may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme
caution.
