WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 347 NOTE: Turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) before rocking the vehicle. Refer to "Electronic Stability Program," or "Traction Control" in "Starting And Operating" for further information. 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. SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever: 1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Remove the shift lever override access cover located to the right of the shift lever. CAUTION! • When "rocking" a stuck vehicle by moving between REVERSE and DRIVE/1st Gear, 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). 6
