secure the lever.
3. Pull up gently on the tether strap to confirm
that the lever is locked in its stowed
position.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or
snow, it can often be moved using a rocking
motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to
clear the area around the front wheels. Push
and hold the lock button on the gear selector.
Then, shift back and forth between DRIVE and
REVERSE while gently pressing the accelerator.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking motion,
without spinning the wheels or racing the
engine.
NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only
be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Push the "ESC OFF" switch, to place the Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system in
"Partial Off" mode, before rocking the vehicle.
Refer to "Electronic Brake Control System" in
"Safety" for further information. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the "ESC OFF"
switch again to restore "ESC On" mode.
