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.If a dead 12 volt battery is
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 push 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:
Push 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” on the DVD for further information.Once the vehicle has been
freed, push the “ESC Off ” switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.

CAUTION!
•Mixing of coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology
(OAT) coolant (antifreeze), may result in cooling system damage and may decrease
corrosion protection.Organic Additive Technology (OAT) coolant is different and
should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) coolant
(antifreeze).If a non-OAT coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling sys-
tem in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant (antifreeze)
as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based coolant (antifreeze) products.Do not
use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible
with the radiator coolant and may plug the radiator.
•This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based coolant
(antifreeze).Use of propylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze) is not recom-
mended.
