Driving your vehicle SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS E110200ABH-EU WARNING - ABS Do not pump the brake pedal on a vehicle equipped with ABS. • If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid spinning the drive wheels. • Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the drive wheels to provide traction when stalled in ice, snow, or mud. • Leave ESC system on for best traction when attempting to get vehicle unstuck. Rocking the vehicle If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around your front wheels. Then, shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and any forward gear in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Do not race the engine, and spin the wheels as little as possible. If you are still stuck after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid engine overheating and possible damage to the transmission. OBH058034 E110100ABH Hazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving conditions are encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow these suggestions: • Drive cautiously and allow extra distance for braking. • Avoid sudden movements in braking or steering. CAUTION Prolonged rocking may cause engine over-heating, transmission damage or failure, and tire damage. WARNING - Downshifting Downshifting with an automatic transmission, while driving on slippery surfaces can cause an accident. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. Be careful when downshifting on slippery surfaces. 5 56
