NOTE:

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 for

more than 2 seconds, you must push the brake pedal to

engage DRIVE or REVERSE.

CAUTION!

Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to
transmission overheating and failure. Allow the en-
gine 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 transmission failure during prolonged
efforts to free a stuck vehicle.

NOTE:

Push the ЉESC OffЉ switch, to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in ЉPartial OffЉ mode,

before rocking the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake

Control System” in “Starting And Operating”. Once the

vehicle has been freed, push the ЉESC OffЉ switch again to

restore ЉESC OnЉ 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).
