Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Rocking the vehicle
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from snow, sand, or mud, depress the accelerator pedal slightly and move the shift lever/select lever back and forth between "1"/"D" and "R" repeatedly. Do not race the engine. For the best possible traction, avoid spinning the wheels when trying to free the vehicle.

If your vehicle is a CVT model, for information about holding the transmission in the 2nd position, refer to "Selection of manual mode" F7-26.
