Mazda Mazda6: Rocking the Vehicle

Mazda Mazda6 / Mazda6 GH1 / GH2 / GZ (2009-2013) Owners Manual / Before Driving Your Mazda / Rocking the Vehicle

WARNING:

Do not spin the wheels at more than 56 km/h (35 mph), and do not allow anyone to stand behind a wheel when pushing the vehicle:

When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the wheels at high speed is dangerous. The spinning tire could overheat and explode. This could cause serious injuries.

CAUTION:

Too much rocking may cause engine overheating, transaxle failure, and tire damage.

If you must rock the vehicle to free it from snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator slightly and slowly move the shift lever from 1 (D) to R.
