In winter, drivers need to be especially careful and know how to respond to emergency situations..

What to do if a car with a manual transmission stalled.

The most efficient way to get out of the snow in a manual transmission car is to rock.. Before you start working in a rear-wheel drive car, you need to make sure that its front wheels are level.. In a front-wheel drive car, turn the steering wheel to make sure there is traction between the wheels and the road.. If there is a lot of snow on the street, it is important to make sure that the car does not sit on its bottom.. If this worked out, you need to clean the snow under it.

After all the preliminary preparations are made, make an attempt to get out of the trap.

Engage reverse gear, gently step on the gas and drive away carefully.

As soon as the car starts to move, release the gas pedal and let it roll back.

Engage forward gear and move forward in the same way.

Keep your foot on the pedal until the car starts to slip. Feel this moment and release the pedal before slipping. So you can pack the snow and drive away.

If there is not enough acceleration for back and forth maneuvers, try to move back a little and, turning on the first gear, move forward. This maneuver allows you to increase the amplitude of the rocking of the car.

What to do if a car with an automatic transmission stalled.

In cars with automatic transmission, in the first place, in the case of slippage, everyone tries to use the ASR anti-slip system, which, unfortunately, is not always effective..

If the ASR system did not help, turn it off and follow these steps.

move the shift lever to position N, then to position D. Your feet should not be on the pedals;

move off and catch the moment when the car stops. Apply the brake without taking your foot off the gas pedal. After that, quickly release the gas, and leave the brake pressed. Shift gear to R;

accelerate again with the brake released. The machine should give a small rollback back. When she stops, hit the brakes.

Such actions help to rock the car and allow you to drive onto a hard and flat surface..

In addition to the above methods, there are two more that will also help the car get out of the trap.. In order for its wheels to feel traction as quickly as possible, you can lay car mats under them or pour cat litter. Its stock can always be carried in the trunk for such cases..
