170 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE In order to free a stuck vehicle you must turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) before attempting to "rock" the vehicle. If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between Reverse and Drive. Usually the least accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels is most effective. NOTE: ESP should be turned on again after freeing the vehicle from a stuck condition. TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE We recommend that the vehicle be transported using flat bed equipment. This method is preferable to other types of towing. CAUTION! Important! If towing the vehicle, please note the following: With the automatic central locking activated and the key in the ignition switch turned to the ON/RUN position, the vehicle doors lock if the left front wheel and the right rear wheel are turning at vehicle speeds of approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or more. To prevent the vehicle door locks from locking, deactivate the automatic central locking. CAUTION! Racing the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission/axle overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h).
