(176 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
NOTE:
For the SRT model the correct wheel nut tightness is 110 ft lbs (149 N·m).

Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located under the passenger's front seat. There are
remote locations located under the hood to assist in jump-starting.
WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It canstart anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be injured by moving fan
blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch bands and bracelets that could
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
NOTE:
Be sure that the disconnected ends of the cables do not touch while still connected
to the either vehicle.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. Remove the protective cover over the remote positive (+)battery post. Pull upward
on the cover to remove it.
4. 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.

Manual Park Release mechanism, the transmission, and/or the armrest.
NOTE:
To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
To Disengage the Manual Park Release Lever:
1. To disengage the Manual Park Release apply tension upward while pushing the release latch towards the tether to unlock the lever.

Four-Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheelsOFFthe ground. Acceptable
methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of vehicle raised and the
opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transfer case is operable, vehicles with
a two-speed transfer case may be towed (in the forward direction, with ALLwheels on
the ground), IFthe transfer case is in NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK.
Refer to “Recreational Towing” in “Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for detailed instructions.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer case have no NEUTRAL position, and
therefore mustbe towed with all four wheels OFFthe ground.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used. Internal damage to the transmission
or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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. Push and hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then shift back and
forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL for more than two
seconds, you must push the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking
motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
