WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 407 NOTE: For vehicles equipped with ESP, refer to ЉSynchronizing ESPЉ under ЉElectronic Stability ProgramЉ in Section 5 of this manual if the ESP/BAS light (in the instrument cluster) remains on continuously after starting the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. 8. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts and fan. FREEING A STUCK 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: Turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) - if equipped, or Traction Control System (TCS) - if equipped before rocking the vehicle. For details, refer to "Electronic Stability Program" or "Traction Control System" in this manual. WARNING! Any procedure other than above could result in: 1. Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent; 2. Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion; 3. Damage to charging system of booster vehicle or of immobilized vehicle. 6
