2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING CONVERTIBLE engine

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by arocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and
DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion,
without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to “Partial
Off” mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
switch. For further information
on ESC, refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds
may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not
spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do
not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st 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).

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to record up to five seconds ofspecific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recorder prior to
the moment of airbag deployment, or near deployment (if applicable), and up to a
quarter second of either high-speed deceleration data or change in velocity during
and/or after airbag deployment or near-deployment. EDR data is ONLY recorded if
an airbag deploys, or nearly deploys, and is otherwise unavailable.
NOTE:
• A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag
deployment.
• Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recorded (e.g., loss of battery power).
• In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by Chrysler Group LLC and others to learn more
about the possible cau ses of crashesand associated injuries i n order toassessand
improve vehicle performance. In addition to crash investigations initiated by
Chrysler Group LLC, such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance
carriers, government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those
associated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.
• In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (regardless of initiative), the company or its designated representative will first obtain
permission of the appropriate custodial entity for the vehicle (usually the vehicle
owner or lessee) before accessing the electronic data stor ed, unlessordered to
image the data by a court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy
of the data will be provided to the cust odial entity upon request.General data that
does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation
in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the U.S. government
and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a
particular driver, vehicle, or crash, will be tr eated confidentially. Confidential data
will not be disclosed by Chrysler Group LLC to any third party except when:
• Used for resear ch purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record
in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is thereafter
preserved.
• Used in defense of litigation involving a Chrysler Group LLC product.
• Requested by police under a legal warrant.
• Otherwise required by law.
Data parameters that are recorded:
• Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically-controlled safety systems, including the airbag system.
• Vehicle speed, Engine RPM, Brake switch status, Pedal position, and other parameters depending on vehicle configuration.
