2. Look under the vehicle to identify if it is hung-up on snow that will need to be removed before being able to get free. If so,小心去除雪如果可能的话。如果有太多或者太遥远的车辆下，呼吁牵引服务。
3. After removing snow, put some traction aid, in front of or behind the tires, depending on the direction chosen, to free the vehicle. Gently rock the vehicle as described below or with the help of others. Remember to accelerate slowly.
4. 如果有人把一些轮胎，如地板垫下，确保每个人都在齿轮驾驶员将站在面前充分离开车辆的车辆。轮胎下的项目可以成为快速移动的抛射物，可以伤害周围的人。有许多的产品在市场上做广告更好的牵引力让车辆脱胶，只是别忘了要使用，如果他们中的一个肯定每个人都好清楚车辆。
5. 猫砂是在红土高可能会融化成轮胎下方的防滑物质。考虑杂乱，在粘土或沙子来代替低。沙可能是最生态友好的选项。

用好电的手机旅行，特别是在冬季。

Keep a bright flashlight available in the vehicle to use to help others see the stranded vehicle as well as to be able to look around the vehicle after dark. Flares or roadside assistance markers are also good to carry in the vehicle. Check the flashlight operation at least once a month, especially if the vehicle is not kept in a garage.
