How to pull a car with a rope. How to get out of the mud if stuck. Getting out of the snow captivity

home / Repair

Today, not a single person can imagine their existence without transport. Thanks to road transport, we can travel long distances in the shortest possible time, we can transport various goods, or use the car for various races and other interesting entertainment. According to their individual characteristics, cars can be divided into cars, SUVs, crossovers, trucks, and so on. But do not forget that even if you own the most durable car, you will not always be able to resist the great forces of nature.

The main mistake of most motorists is overestimating the capabilities of their road transport: they deliberately go to the most difficult areas, where they are in danger of slipping, and this is where a serious problem arises: how to get the car out of trouble on your own? In this article, we will reveal some secrets that will come in handy when pulling a car out of mud, sand or snow, as well as consider options for preventing slipping and tell you about what improvised devices will help you cope with the problem.

1. Where danger lies in wait for us (mud, snow, sand)

Most motorists, and especially those who have an oversized SUV in their garage, are overcome by an irrepressible curiosity and passion for unexplored territories. Those who, as the saying goes, “gasoline plays in their blood”, go to unfamiliar areas, thereby conducting a kind of test drive with their car. The result of all this can be a car sitting "on its belly" and a lot of trouble.

Danger can lie in wait for a motorist both when driving on country roads and through a forest or loose terrain. Therefore, you need to be very careful and careful so as not to run into trouble. But what if bad luck still overtook you, and the car got stuck? Don't panic! Let's deal with the problem together.

2. What to do to solve the problem

Let's say that you didn't keep track of the controls and fell into the mud. But wherever you are stuck, for a successful release from the "trap" you need to remember one main rule: do not rush to push hard - this way you can get stuck in the mud even more, therefore, it will be much more difficult for you to get out. Also, do not forget: to prevent the car from sinking into the mud “up to its ears”, it is necessary to pass dangerous sections in first gear, but in no case in second, as inexperienced drivers are used to doing. This way you can avoid wheel spin. Only with a measured movement and a sense of the dimensions of the car, you can easily overcome the obstacle.

But what to do when you are already trapped? To begin with, it is necessary, if possible, to rid the car of unnecessary weights. In no case should you panic, be nervous - you need to take all the necessary measures deliberately and consistently.

In the event that your car has sunk rather deeply and you cannot push it out, use the rope! It is necessary to tie it around the wheels of the transport, while trying to cover as large an area of the wheel as possible. To do this, unscrew the drive wheels, pull the rope through the discs and tie one turn around both tires. Then tighten and cut off the rest. This will help increase the traction of the wheels.

Although, as practice shows, special chains or anti-slip bands, which exclude slipping on the surface, are more effective in solving this problem. If you have a jack, don't miss the opportunity to use it. Thanks to him, you can raise the car in order to be able to lay branches or stones under the wheels and get out of the mud trap. But do not forget that the jack must be installed on a solid surface and in no case should it sag along with the transport.

You can also consider using a manual winch. It is easy to use this device, but it still does not hurt to know about some tricks. The first thing to focus on is the winch cable, the length of which often does not even reach 5 meters. Therefore, it is worth taking with you an additional cable (best of all, not metal, but nylon). We fix a metal hook at one end of the cable, and make a loop at the other.

Before hitching to the car, you need to determine exactly the direction in which you should pull the vehicle, as if you pull the car in the wrong direction, it can sit even deeper. As a general rule, the drive wheels should be facing forward, as inverted wheels can create additional resistance.

Moreover, The winch should be fixed as high as possible so that it will be easier for you to pull the vehicle out. Finally, make sure that the winch mechanism does not touch the ground - in this case, dirt can clog into it, and the device will unwind at the most important moment.

For front-wheel drive vehicles, in order to get out of the mud bog, it is also advised to turn the wheels to the right and left. This move increases the car's chances of getting caught on hard ground. However, you should not do this with a rear-wheel drive car - it will only aggravate the situation.

When you have already tried all the options, but you still did not manage to leave the problem area, for you there is another simple, but people-tested method, which is excellent suitable for a car with manual box gear. In order to pull the car out of the mud, you can use a towing cable with a length of at least four and no more than six meters, in addition, it must have the property of stretching, since the use of such a cable can reduce the load at the time of sudden jerks.

V carburetor cars you can also turn on the first gear, pull in the choke or, as it is also called, manual gas and get out of the car, while leaving the door open. After that, first try to push the car near the driver's door, and as soon as you see that the car is already trying to leave, immediately jump behind the wheel.

If you can't push the car out of the mud right next to the driver's seat, you can try pushing from behind. True, not everyone can quickly and deftly jump into the car after they manage to push it out, because it is not so easy to run from the trunk through the bog. Based on this, some motorists use a rope, while tying it to high voltage wire ignition from one end and to some post or tree from the other. It is important to calculate the length of the rope so that the moment the car gets out of the mud, the rope pulls and pulls the wire, thus shutting off the engine and eliminating the need to chase the car.

After your car gets out of the mud, you need to continue driving very carefully, and along a well-worn track, exactly where the ground is compacted, and the danger of getting bogged down again is minimized. But remember that the most best helper rescuing from the mud pit is another driver, who, ideally, should have a powerful vehicle(for example, a jeep or a tractor).

After you get out of the mud hole and get to a safe area, you will need to take care of the car itself. After slipping for a long time in the mud brake pads will be heavily stained, which can cause serious problems. Moreover, a heavily soiled vehicle bottom can corrode very quickly. Therefore, it is worthwhile to immediately inspect the car and identify the malfunction in time. Take care of your transport and take care of it in a timely manner.

2.2 Getting out of the snow captivity

Driving by car in the cold season is generally a separate story. Here the question already arises, what measures to take if the car is plunged into snow. In order to reduce the risk of getting into an extremely unpleasant situation and not "get stuck" in a snow trap, it is necessary to ensure that such an incident does not occur at all. What needs to be done for this? For starters, do not forget to change in time summer tires for the winter.

If your car is still stuck in a snowdrift, we advise you to take a shovel from the trunk and try to clear the snow around the wheels so that the vehicle can drive back and, having already accelerated, overcome the obstacle, or try to swing over it. An ordinary cable can become the main assistant for a motorist when a vehicle is stuck in the snow.

So how do you use the cable correctly? First, you need to grasp a tree or post located near the car with a cable. Then you need to fasten the two free ends to the lugs on the car. After that, we insert a pry bar or a stick between the cable and begin to slowly wind it.

After a couple of minutes, the car will start moving and thus get out of the snow. When using this method, safety precautions must not be ignored, in no case should you rush, since when you release the lever, serious injury from kickback is not excluded. Moreover, in the cold season, being carried away by the release of the car, you can easily earn yourself frostbite. You can also sprinkle salt in front of the drive wheels, and then add sand to melt ice from the wheel slip.

2.3 Deviousness of sand and gravel

Now let's consider a situation where your car gets stuck in sand or gravel. What to do in such a situation? You can try digging in the wheels and placing boards or materials at hand (for example, stones or branches) in order to provide the wheels with reliable grip.

In this case, you can also use a rope. So, if there is a strong tree near the stuck car, you can use it and wrap the tow rope around the trunk, and then fix both ends of it on the car towing loop. Further - the matter is small. We find a long, strong stick or a pry bar, insert it between the two ends of the cable approximately in the center, and, finally, we twist the cable with this improvised lever. The length of the cable will be shortened slightly and the vehicle will move.

As a last resort, you can try dampening the sand with water, so you can reduce the flow of sand in the direction of your vehicle. Also, if none of the options helps to cope with the problem, you can lower the wheels a little, and thus reduce the tire pressure. Thanks to this, you can achieve an increase in the area of adhesion to the sand and try to get out of the "trap".

3. How not to get into a difficult situation

3.1 Avoiding problem sections of the road

Now let's talk about how you can save yourself from getting into an unpleasant situation associated with a car spinning. So, the basics of off-road driving usually start with identifying the most vulnerabilities in the car. Often, these are wheels that are very easy to pierce, based on this, you need to be very careful and look "under your feet" so as not to run into any knot or other sharp object. In the event that you are left without at least one wheel (the situation can be saved by a spare wheel, if you have one), then you will no longer think about how to get to the picnic site, but seriously think about how to return to track and ask for help, because rarely anyone drives through the forest.

In order not to load on a loose road, experts advise driving on soft ground exclusively in first gear, since the wheels are constantly ready to slip and, as a rule, are already pushing rollers from the soil in front of them, through which they cannot in any way get over. If the speed is increased in this situation, the car will immediately bury its drive wheels in the soil and sit on the axle, and if the car is all-wheel drive, then, most likely, it will sit on its "belly", after which it will be quite difficult to move it.

3.2 Necessary equipment in the trunk

If you are a lover of extreme driving outside the city, have driven around the entire rough terrain and forests, and also like to ride along the edge of a swamp or drive across a river, be prepared for the fact that sooner or later your car may fall into a "trap" and get deeply stuck. In this case, you will have to think about how to get out of the trap. We have given many examples of how you can get out of various rework. But, as you have already seen, it is very difficult to perform any release operations without aids. Therefore, we will tell you what necessary equipment you need to carry with you in the trunk every time you go on an off-road trip.

So, the first is a sturdy shovel with a good handle, which you will not mind scratching or breaking. Every motorist must also have a jack and a towing rope. You can't do without them. You can also mention the winch, which can be electrically driven or driven from a PTO (power take-off shaft). The second option is much more powerful and reliable, but if the engine cannot start, then the winch will not work either.

In order for the winch to be used as intended, it must be secured to something. As a rule, the winch is attached to a tree, but if there are no such in the vicinity, you need to anticipate this moment and stock up on the same shovel - perhaps with its help you will be able to secure the other end of the cable. In addition to all this, you may also need something that can be thrown under the wheels. Many motorists purchase two rolls of mesh with a mesh size of 20 by 20 mm. You don't need an overly wide mesh, but extra length is welcome.

Almost anything can happen when driving away from paved roads. For example, you might suddenly drive off the road into fields below it. Or just in the fall or spring, when the incessant rains turned the country roads into an impassable swamp, where you can get stuck even on powerful SUV not to mention the standard front wheel drive vehicle.

In this article, you will learn how to get out when you get stuck in the mud. As a rule, in such a situation you cannot do without someone else's help, however, there are several ways through which you can get out of the mud on your own.

The first method: we distribute the weight correctly on a car with rear and front wheel drive

It is much easier to get out of the mud onto front wheel drive as it gives its owner more maneuverability, which is not the case with rear-wheel drive.

Front-wheel drive:

Unload the rear of the car and load the front. If you are traveling alone, simply move your belongings from the trunk to the front seat. If you are with a company, then leave one passenger in the front and drop everyone from the back seats;
Drive off smoothly and by slowly turning the steering wheel left and right, try to find traction at the edge of the track.

Rear wheel drive:

In this case, on the contrary, you need to load the rear axle and unload the front. Or simply transfer a passenger from front seat to the back.
Put the steering wheel only straight.
Drive slowly in the opposite direction. In this case, you can tighten hand brake to avoid wheel spin.

Didn't help, the car is firmly seated? Then put tree branches, stones, boards, rubber mats under the drive wheels. And again, slowly trying to get out of the mud.

The second way: "buildup" on the machine and mechanics

If the previous method for getting out of the mud didn't work for you, try rocking your car. This can be done either alone or with the help of friends. For this to work, the car needs to move forward and backward, gradually increasing the distance traveled. On mechanics, this is obtained by periodically turning on the first and reverse gear... At the same time, try to slip your wheels as little as possible, so as not to get bogged down in the mud even more. And as soon as you feel that the car has swayed to the maximum - try to drive sharply in the right direction. Also, use the clutch carefully so as not to burn it.

If you are having trouble shifting gears quickly, you can try rocking the car with the clutch. As a rule, this is triggered in cases where the wheels of the car are in the groove. To do this, put in first or reverse gear and drive slowly. And after you feel the wheels start to spin, release the throttle and press on the clutch. At this point, the vehicle should roll in the opposite direction. And as soon as it stops rolling, and begins to return itself in the right direction, release the clutch again, helping the car to climb. You will most likely have to repeat the above steps several times before you get out onto a hard surface.

How to get out of the mud on the machine with the help of swinging?

As a rule, cars with automatic transmission are equipped with different additional electronics which prevents the wheels from slipping when cornering. That is why when trying to get out of the mud, the car will behave very differently. Moreover, on the machine you will not be able to change gears at the same speed as on mechanics. Therefore, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to swing the car quickly by changing gears. Even if you try to do this, the automatic transmission will simply refuse you.

What to advise if a car with automatic transmission is stuck in the mud? Everything is the same as in the previous case. Use the method of rocking the car in half - without using reverse gear. That is, start moving all the way, and then just roll in the opposite direction and again forward. Only instead of pressing the clutch, you need to switch the automatic gearbox lever to the "N" position, and when you need to get under way - to the "D" position.

Third way: we use a winch or make it from scrap materials

You can also get out of the mud with a winch. It is selected according to the weight of your car. You can hook it to a tree, post or other object. If you do not have one, then you can make a winch from available tools.

To do this, you need to have a crowbar and two cables with you. You will also need a wooden block or metal rod for the lever, but you can use a shovel handle or a tree branch instead. It is better if the cable is not flat, but in the form of a pigtail, since it is more resistant to torsion loads.

We drive the crowbar into the ground, tie one end of the cable to a tree or post, and hook the other end to the scrap so that it can freely scroll in place without being attracted to the tree. Make sure that the rope is not sagged, but fastened tightly to the top of the scrap.

Let's move on to the second cable. We tie one end to the branch, and the other we hook to the car. Carefully roll the branch onto the device, keeping the cable as low as possible to the ground. So you have a kind of lever that will help you get your car out of the mud.

Make sure that the device is strong, the cable is not rotten, and the crowbar does not jump out of the ground.

The fourth way: getting out of the mud with a jack

What if the car sits on its belly and the wheels are just spinning in the mud? In this case, it is best to use a jack. But to use it you need a flat and solid surface. And if there is a continuous swamp beneath you? And here there is a way out, you can use a wide board as a support. If not, make a platform of branches or put a rubber mat or spare tire. Using a jack, lift the drive wheels of the car and place something solid under them: it can be branches, stones or even straw. In any case, your goal is to make the bottom of the car rise above the ground.

Method five: how to get out of the mud with a stick

There is also another simple and original way to get out of the mud, which simply could not fail to get into this article. All you need is a piece of board or stick and a roll of duct tape. Then everything is simple. Attach the stick firmly to the car tire. This interesting upgrade will allow a simple passenger car not only to get out of the mud, but also to drive where even a powerful SUV can fit.

We must watch another video on how to get out of the mud with a stick and electrical tape.

Sixth way: taking the car in tow

If the car gets stuck, and all your attempts to get out of the mud have ended in failure, then all you have to do is follow the tractor. Keep in mind, however, that if your vehicle is leaning on its belly, then trying to pull it out with a truck or tractor can seriously damage the chassis, engine pan or exhaust system.

Therefore, in this case, before rescuing the car from the mud trap, raise it with a jack and put something solid under the wheels: branches, stones, boards. And if possible, post them all the way.

Attach the tow rope only where it is required (see the vehicle manual for such anchorage points). The force required to pull the car out of the mud must be much greater than the force used in normal towing. Therefore, the cable must be attached to very strong body parts such as front / rear axle, towbar, etc.

You will need

- Belt rope with a force of at least 5 tons.
- A pair of shovels (not sapper).
- Jack.
- Ax and saw.
- Compressor.
- Construction brackets.
- Manual or electric winch.

Instructions

If you need to overcome a space covered with deep mud, first assess your chances. If the car fails, the chances are slim. If in stock frame SUV with, a demultiplier and blocked differentials, this fundamentally changes the matter. Engage in advance, downshift and all existing locks. To be able to get out when you get stuck, try to work your way through the mud next to large objects (pillars, trees). If they get stuck, they can be caught by the winch cable. Keep the speed constant, vnatyag, without slipping. Don't go into deep mud.

The simplest way to combat unexpectedly skidding wheel - increase engine speed while lightly pressing the brake pedal. This will simulate a differential lock if no mechanical lock is installed. Unfortunately, this method only helps when overcoming shallow mud.

As soon as it becomes clear that the car began to slip without moving forward, immediately engage the reverse speed and roll back along the paved track. Do not accelerate while doing this. If this does not work, release the tire pressure to 0.5-1.0 atm. This can be done in advance, before overcoming the mud section. Leaving for decent road, restore the correct tire pressure with a compressor.

If the car is seriously stuck and all of the above methods do not help, follow certain rules. First, do not accelerate to avoid digging deeper. Secondly, if possible, dig out the rear wheels, axle, bottom. Then, without slipping, try to pull back in tension. Third, check the condition of the road along the way. If there is the same mud, it is better to look for another road.

The next step in getting the car out of the mud is to put rubber mats, rags, pieces of plywood, planks, branches, logs and anything else under the wheels that will help reduce the pressure on the ground. Here you will need an ax, a saw and a jack to lift the wheel of the car. When the car is firmly standing on objects placed under the wheels, begin to make smooth rocking movements of the car, trying to get out of the mud.

When driving backward on the paved track, the car will try to turn to the side. Again, do not accelerate. Smoothly try to catch the edge of the tires on the edges of the track to continue driving. Please note that with repeated movement along the track, its depth will increase and a situation may arise that there will not be enough clearance for further movement.

Tow. If none of the methods helped, you will have to look for a towing vehicle. Or do it from the very beginning, if there is no desire to independently fight for the rescue of the car. If there is a long cable and the ability for a towing vehicle to pull out a stuck car while standing on a solid road, any vehicle with sufficient power will do as a tug. If the towing vehicle has to climb into the mud, an all-wheel drive heavy vehicle is needed. Truck or tractor.

Let's talk a little about preparing for a car rescue, because even in a modern city, a light SUV can get stuck, especially considering the quality of Russian roads.

So, if you bought a jeep to really travel, go fishing and in general to nature, cut off the road, and not show off in front of your friends, then be sure to acquire a winch and a spare cable.

What to use

It is also helpful to have metal plates or wooden planks to place under the vehicle as you shovel the theoretical mud / pit route.

About shovels: it is better to have a large and convenient shovel, for the fastest digging out of the track for exiting, however, storage and transportation of this tool is not always convenient, so a folding garden shovel or a sapper shovel is also suitable.

A full-fledged jack, type High-Jack. A full-fledged ax, or at least a small hatchet, is simply necessary, because the transported boards are not always enough for lining, and you may also need a support for the jack when lifting the car, here the ax will come in handy.

Well, it is also worth stocking up on theory, but remember that everything is individual and no theory can replace the experience of pulling out a jeep.

Consider the most common ways to pull out a "stuck" SUV, as well as the mistakes made during this action.

Track and boards

A banal way. Everyone has heard of him. Just dig a few meters ahead in the mud and place logs or boards of a suitable size under the wheels.

This event will be much easier with a jeep than with a regular one. by car, at the expense all-wheel drive and larger wheel diameter, but a lot of weight plays against you, remember this.

Because of this, an SUV that is well stuck in a swamp is, as a rule, pulled out only by a tow truck.

Errors:

Sometimes too large logs are placed under the wheels, as a result of which the car breaks down and hangs tightly on the bridge. Remember that it is better to stack several suitable planks tightly than one large piece of wood.

Pull out with a winch

With a winch. It is advisable to perform any actions with the winch with a partner who will monitor the correct winding of the winch on the drum, otherwise pulling the car out will take a very long time.

Mount the winch only at right angles (exceptions are possible) and as close to the ground as possible. If you have nothing to secure the rescue rope there is a tricky fail-safe trick.

The reserve is buried about a meter into the ground, the cable is attached to it, and a trench is pulled out to move the winch.

This method allows you to get out of the mud both in an open field and in a young forest, where the trees are not able to support the weight of your off-road "monster".

It is also worth listening a lot when using this method. The sound can say both about the nearest successful release, and about the fact that the cable is overloaded, and tactics should be changed, otherwise it will break.

Remember that the action of the winch can be improved, and its lifespan can be extended by using various blocks, slings and pulleys (a complex block system that is almost impossible to assemble on your own, but which will help you easily pull out a stuck SUV from anywhere.)

Car towing

Ordinary tug. You go to the nearest village and buy a couple of hours from a local tractor driver. For a good fee, after this time you will be pulled out of any pit and taken to the track, in order to avoid a second embarrassment. For this method, any car, at least slightly larger than your jeep, will do the job.

Lifting with a jack

Using a High-Jack Jack. The same as the first point, only the heavily sagging side, on which the car almost collapsed, clings to a high jack, rises, logs, walkways, boards, etc. are superimposed under the wheels.

After that, the SUV moves from a place, even without removing from the jack (do not worry, it will fold, fall under the wheels and will not suffer at all if you drive over it). A very time-consuming process, but in some situations you cannot do without it.

Grandfather's ways

There are also a huge number of different "old-fashioned ways", but not all of them apply to off-road vehicles. But on the other hand, they do not require any special skills, and the items that are required to successfully pull out the car can be found at hand.

But the easiest way to get the car out is to just drive it carefully. At the slightest suspicion that your car is "stuck", you should not skid and aggravate the situation, and also hope to "slip" through the mud, a meter deep.
It takes 20 minutes to make wooden walkways, but after that you don't have to spend half a day freeing your SUV.

Video instruction

Driving on unfamiliar terrain, roads often leads to the car getting stuck in mud, sand or snow, especially in bad weather. Calling a tow truck is considered a safe method of pulling out the vehicle. But this is not always possible.

If you make a decision to free the car on your own, you need to know how to pull the car out on your own, without harming the components, structure.

What to do if your car gets stuck

If the car is stuck, do not panic, press hard on the gas pedal. You should get out of it, assess the situation. The scheme of further actions is determined by the specific situation and the place of the incident.

use shovels to remove mud caps, clearing in front of or behind the machine;
power reception in the form of pushing is suitable if there is a passenger;
swinging is used if there are no available means; it is assumed that the gear is engaged, smooth gas pressure, periodic engagement and disengagement of the clutch; when the car sways strongly, it is worth trying to get out of the trap;
a jack is a reliable assistant installed on solid ground or on a special support; lifting the wheels, they put branches and stones under them, which creates conditions for leaving.

swing is the most effective method in this situation; for front-wheel drive models, the steering wheel is turned to exit when the forward gear is turned on, and for rear-wheel drive models, the rear and handbrake are used;
sand, salt, glass cleaner - substances that corrode the ice under the wheels, making it easier to drive.

it is recommended to reduce the pressure in the wheels, increasing the area of contact with the base, attempts to release are carried out without sudden movements, it is important to avoid slipping;
air cushion - the car is left on the handbrake, the space under the bottom is cleared, the cushion is installed, the hose is attached to exhaust pipe; there is a lifting of the body, which allows you to put branches under the wheels, stones for leaving.

Thinking over how to pull out the car alone, it is worth remembering that if attempts fail, you will need the help of the evacuation service or passing cars.

When operating a car, it is better to store a special tool in the trunk - a shovel, jack, rope. This will help get the vehicle out if it gets stuck. It is also worth knowing how to pull the car out with a rope.

Effective ways:

A rope, wood, stick, or pry bar is used. Here you need to fasten the ends of the cable to the towing loop, having previously wrapped it around the tree. In the center, between the car and the tree, a pry bar is inserted, a stick that allows you to twist the cable. So, a lever is formed, the distance is reduced, the car shifts.
The second scheme is more complicated, you need a rope and a tree. One end of the cable is tied to the loop, then a loop is made at a distance of 1.5 m so that it does not slip and does not tighten. The rope is passed through this loop to form a new, wider one. The remaining end is passed around the tree, and then they grab a large loop, pull out the transport.

Such schemes are powerful levers that allow you to move the car with less effort, especially when you need to do everything yourself.

Towing is a method that contributes to the quick release of another car if it is stuck or the driver cannot get out on his own. Cars with automatic transmission are more demanding in terms of loads, operating conditions, in comparison with manual transmissions.

But if the question arises, is it possible to pull out another car on the machine, the answer is yes. The main thing is to approach the task correctly.

Subtleties of towing on the machine:

exclude sudden movements, jerks;
gear L 1 (2) is engaged, manual control is activated, if there is such a function;
the car begins to move quietly until the cable is taut;
after pulling the cable, when the towed car starts to move, put pressure on the gas, pull the car out;
you need to quickly overcome the threshold of 1500-1800 rpm, after tension, accelerate the car by switching to mode D.

It is important to exclude damage to the automatic transmission, therefore, the characteristics of the car and the weight of the car being pulled out are taken into account. If it is larger, towing should be excluded, even on a manual transmission.

Machines with automatic transmission also get stuck in snow, sand or mud. And if conventional methods do not allow you to get out, it is recommended to call a tow truck or tow. It is worth paying attention to whether it is possible to pull out the car automatically.

The method is not suitable for all models, some only evacuate. The instructions for transport indicate the possibility of towing, speed, permissible distance.

For example:

for a car with a 3-speed gearbox, 25 km is allowed at a speed of 40 km per hour;
The 4-speed version assumes 50 km at a speed of 50 km per hour.

It is impossible to exceed the indicators - the oil pump does not work, the wear of the elements increases, overheating will occur. Pre-fill additional working fluid, it will be merged later in the service. In the process of pulling out, the motor is running, the automatic transmission is in N mode.

Situations when the car sits on its belly arise during travel, trips outside the city. Mostly in autumn and spring, when the weather changes.

If a long trip is envisaged, it is advisable to prepare the equipment that may be required to pull the car. It will not be superfluous to find out the number of the evacuation service operating in the area. But if there is no help or you will have to wait for it for a long time, and the car has sat down on the bottom, experienced drivers can tell you how to get it out.

First you need to go out and assess the situation, then follow the plan:

If the car has not sat down completely, it is saved small stroke... Then, in turn, the wheels are raised with a jack, laying branches, stones, boards. Next, they try to ride out a ride.
When the car is stuck without moving, you need to dig out snow, mud. Branches are also placed under the drive wheels, they try to leave. You can't put too much pressure on the gas.
They clear the dirt, snow, attach the towing cable, having previously tied it around the tree, make a lever using a stick, a pry bar.

The main condition for a successful release is the ability to understand what is holding the car and try to quickly eliminate the cause.

How to free the car using a tractor

If all the methods have been tried or there are no available means, and the car has sat down on the belly, how to get it out - call friends with big jeeps, look for a tractor. For pulling out, it is better to use slings, but not steel cables, pulling out the eyes, bumpers, body elements.

Important points:

the car being pulled out cannot be jerked, smooth movements of the tractor driver or the driving machine are necessary;
