WARNING!

Failure to follow this jump starting procedure

could result in personal injury or property

damage due to battery explosion.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in

damage to the charging system of the booster

vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative

(-) post of the discharged battery. The resulting

electrical spark could cause the battery to

explode and could result in personal injury.

CAUTION!

Do not run the booster vehicle engine above

2,000 RPM since it provides no charging benefit,

wastes fuel, and can damage booster vehicle

engine.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

341

5. Reinstall the protective cover over the positive

(+) post of the discharged vehicle.

NOTE:

If frequent jump starting is required to start your

vehicle you should have the battery and charging

system tested at an authorized dealer.

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 by taking the

appropriate action.



On the highways — slow down.



In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission

into NEUTRAL, 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.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE

In order to move the vehicle in cases where the

transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as

a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is

available.

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power out

lets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even

when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.).

Eventually, if plugged in long enough without

engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will dis

charge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or

prevent the engine from starting.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage

your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads

HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the

vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until

the pointer drops back into the normal range. If

the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear

continuous chimes, turn the engine off immedi

ately 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

coolant bottle is hot.

WARNING!

Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the

parking brake before activating the Manual Park

Release. In addition, you should be seated in the

driver’s seat with your foot firmly on the brake

pedal when activating the Manual Park Release.

Activating the Manual Park Release will allow

your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the

parking brake, or by proper connection to a tow

vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on

an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious

injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.

342

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Follow these steps to use the Manual Park

Release:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,

remove the manual park release cover located

3. Tuck the tether strap into the base of the

console, and reinstall the cover.

NOTE:

When the lever is locked in the release position the

access cover cannot be reinstalled.

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.

NOTE:



For vehicles with automatic transmission: Shifts

between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) 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 (D)

or REVERSE (R).



Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial OFF”

mode, before rocking the vehicle

page 277.

Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC

OFF button again to restore “ESC On” mode.

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

30 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 occur

ring).

344

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
If the transmission and drivetrain are operable, disabled 4x4 vehicles may also be towed as described

page 198.

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
