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.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous.Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance.Use tires of the recom-
mended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.
•Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component sepa-
ration, or “blow out”.Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.Ob-
jects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.You could lose control of your
vehicle.Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE:
The front and rear wheels are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other.
Rotate the wheels “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram.
The tires on the front and rear of your
vehicle operate at different loads and per-
form different steering, driving, and braking
functions.For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely
rotation of tires.The benefits of rotation
are especially worthwhile with aggressive
tread designs such as those on all season
type tires.Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow and wet traction
levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals.The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
