NOTE:
Press the ESC Off switch to place the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in
Partial Off mode before rocking the ve-
hicle. Refer to "Electronic Brake Control" in
"Starting And Operating" for further infor-
mation. Once the vehicle has been freed,
press the ESC Off switch again to restore
ESC On mode.
CAUTION!
When "rocking" a stuck vehicle by shifting
between DRIVE / 1ST GEAR and RE-
VERSE, 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 overheat-
ing 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 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
longer than 30 seconds continuously without
stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter
what the speed.
