If your car gets stuck in the snow try to move it forwards and backwards using the 2nd gear and the back gear successively. Don´t use the 1st gear because it will skid without move. If you don’t have success moving the car, you should contact with the emergency services by phone. It is basic that you told the position where you are if the road is not very used. Try to get information with the mobile phone or the radio. Turn on the engine and the heating periodically to maintain a mild temperature inside the car. But be careful with the level of fuel. Control the food and drinks existence too. A way to maintain the temperature inside the car is maintaining the snow cover over the car that will insulate it from the cold outside the car. Control the exhaust pipe in order it doesn’t get covered by the snow.
