316 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
NOTE:
Push the ESC OFF switch (if necessary), to place
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in
"Partial Off" mode, before rocking the vehicle
Ú page 227. Once the vehicle has been freed,
push the ESC OFF switch again to restore "ESC
On" mode.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels

may lead to transmission overheating and
failure. Allow the engine 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.
CAUTION! (Continued)
When "rocking" a stuck vehicle by shifting

between DRIVE/SECOND gear and
REVERSE, 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 over-
heating and failure. It can also damage the
tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph
(Continued)
(48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission
shifting occurring).
