Shift Lever Override - Chrysler 2013 Town&Country Owner's Manual

596 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
NOTE: Press the ESC Off switch, to place the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system in Partial Off mode
before rocking the vehicle. Refer to "Electronic Brake
Control System" in "Starting and Operating" for further
information.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 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).
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.

SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be
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.
