444 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

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.

SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

moved out of the PARK position, you can use the

following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:

1. Turn the engine OFF.

2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
