NOTE:

Turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

before rocking the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Stability

Program,” or “Traction Control” in “Starting And Oper-

ating” for further information.

CAUTION!

When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving be-

tween REVERSE and DRIVE/1st Gear, do not spin
the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drive-
train damage may result.

Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast

may lead to transmission overheating and failure.
It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the
wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no
transmission shifting occurring).

WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener-
ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehi-
cle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously without stop-
ping when you are stuck and do not let anyone near
a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

moved out of the PARK position, you can use the

following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
