Correct answer

  • CCon la marcha más larga que sea posible, soltando lentamente el embrague y acelerando constantemente con suavidad.In the highest gear possible, releasing the clutch slowly and accelerating gently and steadily.
Explanation

If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, try to move off very smoothly. The higher the gear you use, the less force and the more smoothness you get, which helps stop the driving wheels from spinning.
