NOTE: Press the ESC Off switch (if necessary), to place
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in Partial Off
mode, before rocking the vehicle. Refer to "Electronic Brake
Control" in "Starting And Operating" for further informa-
tion. 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 be-
tween DRIVE 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 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).
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 539
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener-
ated 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 vehi-
cle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously without stop-
ping when you are stuck and do not let anyone near
a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
