CAUTION!

Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to
transmission overheating and failure. Allow the en-
gine to idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce
the risk of clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.

NOTE:

Press the ЉESC OffЉ switch, to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in ЉPartial OffЉ mode,

before rocking the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake

Control” in “Starting And Operating” for further infor-

mation. Once the vehicle has been freed, press the ЉESC

OffЉ switch again to restore ЉESC OnЉ mode.

CAUTION!

When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting be-

tween DRIVE and REVERSE (with automatic
transmission) or FIRST GEAR and REVERSE (with
manual transmission), do not spin the wheels
faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain 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 trans-
mission shifting occurring).
