5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior

to putting back in the spare tire storage area.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be

serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce

the potential for overheating your engine by taking

the appropriate action.



On the highways — slow down.



In city traffic — while stopped, put transmission

in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase engine idle

speed.

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down an

impending overheat condition:



If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The

A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling

system and turning the A/C off can help remove

this heat.



You can also turn the temperature control to

maximum heat, the mode control to floor and

the blower control to high. This allows the heater

core to act as a supplement to the radiator and

aids in removing heat from the engine cooling

system.

GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE

If a malfunction occurs and the gear selector

cannot be moved out of the PARK position, follow

the steps below:

NOTE:

A depleted battery will prevent the Electric Park

Brake to be applied.
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Apply the Electric Park Brake.

WARNING!



Never have any smoking materials lit in or

near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or

the tank is being filled.



Never add fuel when the engine is running.

This is in violation of most state and federal

fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc

tion Indicator Light to turn on.



A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a

portable container that is inside of a vehicle.

You could be burned. Always place fuel

containers on the ground while filling.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage

your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads

“H”, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehi

cle with the air conditioner turned off until the

pointer drops back into the normal range. If the

pointer remains on the “H” and you hear contin

uous chimes, turn the engine off immediately

and call for service.

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine

coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator.

If you see or hear steam coming from under the

hood, do not open the hood until the radiator

has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling

system pressure cap when the radiator or cool

ant bottle is hot.

4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake

pedal.

5. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down

into the gear selector override access hole (at

the right front corner of the gear selector

assembly), and push and hold the override

release lever down.

Gear Selector Override Location

6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL

position.

7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the gear selector boot on the bezel.

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. For

vehicles with automatic transmission, push and

hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then

shift back and forth between DRIVE (D) and

REVERSE (R) (with automatic transmission) or

SECOND (2) gear and REVERSE (R) (with manual

transmission), 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.
For Vehicles With Automatic Transmission:
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 (N) for more than two seconds, you must

press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or

REVERSE.

NOTE:

Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial OFF”

mode, before rocking the vehicle

page

223.

Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF

button again to restore “ESC On” mode.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

This section describes procedures for towing a

disabled vehicle using a commercial towing

service.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to

prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars

and other equipment designed for this purpose,

following equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar

or other towing device to main structural members

of the vehicle, not to fascia/bumpers or associated

brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles

under tow must be observed.

NOTE:



Vehicles with a discharged battery or total elec

trical failure when the Electric Park Brake (EPB)

is engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack to

raise the rear wheels off the ground when

moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.



You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake

feature is disabled before towing this vehicle, to

avoid inadvertent Electric Park Brake engage

ment. The Auto Park Brake feature is enabled or

disabled via the customer programmable

features in the Uconnect Settings.

If you must use the accessories (wipers,

defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition

must be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC

position.
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, instructions

on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK

(P) in order to move the vehicle

page

281.

WARNING!

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

mph (48

km/h) or for longer than 30 sec-

onds continuously without stopping when you

are stuck and do not let anyone near a spinning

wheel, no matter what the speed.

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.



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 overheating and

failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin

the wheels above 30

mph (48

km/h) while in

gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
