Preparations For Jump-Start
•The battery in your vehicle is located in the underhood compartment under the
beauty cover.
1.Set the parking brake, place the transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to OFF/
LOCK.
2.Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3.If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure
1.Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the dis-
charged vehicle.
2.Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post of
the booster battery.
3.Connect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
4.Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to a good ground (ex-
posed metal part of the discharged vehicle) away from the battery and the high volt-
age cables.
5.Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the the vehicle with the discharged battery.
•Once the vehicle has started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1.Disconnect the negative(-)jumper cable from the ground(-)of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
2.Disconnect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable from the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4.Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
•If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before 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 other means.Activating the Manual
Park Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in
or around the vehicle.
In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK
(such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available.Ifadead12voltbatteryis
the cause of the condition refer to “Jump Start Procedure — 12 Volt Battery” before
performing the Manual Park Release.
To perform the Manual Park Release follow these steps:
1.To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
2.If possible, raise the front driver's side of the vehicle to provide access to the trans-
mission.
3.Working from underneath the vehicle, remove the black rubber plug from the front
of the Park module (a black canister mounted on the front of the transmission).
4.Using a T25 driver bit, rotate the Manual Park Release shaft (located just behind the
rubber plug) clockwise, at least 20 turns, to release the Park mechanism.The vehicle is
now out of PARK and can be moved.
5.Reinstall the rubber plug.
6.Release the parking brake only when a
driver is in the vehicle, or the vehicle is
secured by other means.The Manual
Park Release will be reset automatically
once the vehicle is restarted.

ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network
and power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will deter-
mine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
•Disable the high voltage battery.
•Place the transmission into PARK.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the 12 Volt battery has power
or until the ignition key is removed.
•Unlock the doors automatically.
•In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in
NEUTRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional.To place the transmission into
NEUTRAL you must turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle
the ignition) then press the NEUTRAL button.
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized dealership.
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.Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently
pressing the accelerator.Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will
maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Press the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Par-
tial Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle.Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Start-
ing 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.
•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.
