TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
Do not tow with sling-type equipment. This vehicle must be towed with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed. Always comply with applicable state or local towing
ordinances.
CAUTION!
•Failuretofollowthesetowingmethodscancauseseveretransmissiondamage.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
•Donotattempttousesling-typeequipmentwhentowing.Whensecuringthe
vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
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 2nd gear and REVERSE. Using minimal accelerator
pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most
effective.
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.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not
use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible with
the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
•This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant
(antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not recom-
mended.
