Enhanced Accident Response System (Ears); Event Data Recorder (Edr) - Fiat 500 2016 User Manual

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• When "rocking" a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE/2nd gear and RE-
VERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain dam-
age may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission over-
heating 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).
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated 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 vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for lon-
ger than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
