FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•Ifyourvehiclebecomesstuckinmud,sandorsnow,itcanoftenbemovedbyarocking
motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.
Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pushing the
accelerator. Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
•AllowtheenginetoidlewiththetransmissioninNEUTRALforatleastoneminuteafter
every five rocking-motion cycles. This minimizes overheating and reduce the risk of
transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE:
•ShiftsbetweenDRIVEandREVERSEcanonlybeachievedatwheelspeedsof5mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL for more than
2seconds,youmustpushthebrakepedaltoengageDRIVEorREVERSE.
•IfyourvehicleisequippedwithElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)thenpushthe"ESC
Off" switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in "Partial Off" mode,
before rocking the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheat-
ing 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).
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!
•Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology
(OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease
corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and
should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant
(antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine
coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling
system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming
to MS.90032), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
•Donotusewateraloneoralcohol-basedenginecoolant(antifreeze)products.Do
not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compat-
ible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
•Thisvehiclehasnotbeendesignedforusewithpropyleneglycol-basedengine
coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is
not recommended.
