Preparations For Jump Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the
front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.
NOTE:
The positive battery post is covered with a
protective cap. Lift up on the cap to gain
access to the post.
WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling
fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start 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.
WARNING!
• 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:
Never use a fast battery charger to start the
engine, as this could damage the electronic
systems of your vehicle, particularly the igni-
tion and engine fuel supply control units.

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. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, push
and hold the lock button on the gear selector.
Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and
REVERSE (for automatic transmission) or
SECOND GEAR and REVERSE (for manual
transmission) while gently pressing the ac-
celerator.
NOTE:
For vehicles with automatic transmission,
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 sec-
onds, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressure that will maintain the rocking mo-
tion without spinning the wheels or racing the
engine.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your ve-
hicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
NOTE:
Push the “ESC Off” switch (if necessary), to
place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake Con-
trol System” in “Safety” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information. Once the ve-
hicle has been freed, push the "ESC Off"
switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the
wheels may lead to transmission over-
heating and failure. Allow the engine to
idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL
for at least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will mini-
mize overheating and reduce the risk of
clutch or transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shift-
ing between DRIVE/SECOND gear and
REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster
than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain
damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also dam-
age the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear
(no transmission shifting occurring).
225
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans-
mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.
CAUTION!
• Do not use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to
your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
• Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.
• Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on
tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper
face bar will be damaged.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF
mode. The only approved method of towing
without the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to pre-
vent damage to the vehicle.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models —
With Key Fob
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheelsOFFthe ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFFthe ground (using a towing dolly, or wheel
lift equipment with the front wheels raised).
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is re-
leased, and remains released, while being
towed. The Electric Park Brake does not need
to be released if all four wheels are off the
ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe en-
gine and/or transmission damage. Damage
from improper towing is not covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
4x4 Models
The manufacturer requires towing with all
four wheelsOFFthe ground.
Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on
a flatbed, or with one end of the vehicle
raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or transfer case will occur if a
front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
