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 (D) and

REVERSE (R), while gently pressing the

accelerator. Use the least amount of accelerator

pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking

motion, without spinning the wheels or racing the

engine.

NOTE:

Shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) can

only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph

(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission

remains in NEUTRAL (N) for more than two

seconds, you must press the brake pedal to

engage DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

NOTE:

Push the ESC OFF button, to place the Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system in Partial Off mode,

before rocking the vehicle

Ú

page 132. Once the

vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF button

again to restore ESC On mode.

CAUTION!

Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may

lead to transmission overheating 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 minimize

overheating and reduce the risk of transmission

failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck

vehicle.

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 vehicle'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.

CAUTION!



When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting

between DRIVE 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 damage the tires. Do not spin

the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in

gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil

must be maintained at the correct level. Check the

oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel

stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is

about five minutes after a fully warmed up engine

is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground

will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
There are four possible dipstick types:



Crosshatched zone.



Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.



Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low

end of the range and MAX at the high end of the

range.



Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the

MIN and the MAX ends of the range.

NOTE:

Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch

markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1 liter) of oil when the reading is at

the low end of the dipstick range will raise the oil

level to the high end of the range marking.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry

into the vehicle body is a properly maintained

engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust

system; or if the exhaust fumes can be detected

inside the vehicle; or when the underside or rear of

the vehicle is damaged; have an authorized

technician inspect the complete exhaust system

and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged,

deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams

or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes

to seep into the passenger compartment. In

addition, have the exhaust system inspected each

time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil

change. Replace as required.

Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic

converter will not require maintenance. However, it

is important to keep the engine properly tuned to

ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent

possible catalyst damage.

WARNING!



Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Breathing it can make you uncon

-

scious and can eventually poison you

Ú

page 170.



A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park

over materials that can burn. Such materials

might be grass or leaves coming into contact

with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate

your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system

can contact anything that can burn.

CAUTION!



The catalytic converter requires the use of

unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will

destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an

emissions control device and may seriously

reduce engine performance and cause

serious damage to the engine.



Damage to the catalytic converter can result if

your vehicle is not kept in proper operating

condition. In the event of engine malfunction,

particularly involving engine misfire or other

apparent loss of performance, have your

vehicle serviced promptly. Continued opera

-

tion of your vehicle with a severe malfunction

could cause the converter to overheat,

resulting in possible damage to the converter

and vehicle.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

199

NOTE:

Intentional tampering with emissions control

systems can result in civil penalties being

assessed against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly

malfunctioning engine operation, a scorching odor

may suggest severe and abnormal catalyst

overheating. If this occurs, stop the vehicle, turn off

the engine and allow it to cool. Service, including a

tune-up to manufacturer's specifications, should

be obtained immediately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic converter

damage:



Do not interrupt the ignition when the transmis
