• It may be safer to stay on the apron or shoulder of the road and slow

down gradually before returning to the pavement. You may lose

control if you do not slow down or if you turn the steering wheel too

sharply or abruptly.

• It often may be less risky to strike small objects, such as highway

reflectors, with minor damage to your vehicle rather than attempt a

sudden return to the pavement which could cause the vehicle to slide

sideways out of control or rollover. Remember, your safety and the

safety of others should be your primary concern.

If your vehicle gets stuck

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts, in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control™, it may be beneficial

to disengage the Traction Control™ system while attempting to rock the

vehicle.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage

to the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may

overheat.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off

position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake

warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. See your authorized dealer.

WARNING: Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (56 km/h).

The tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

Emergency maneuvers

• In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn

must be made, remember to avoid “over-driving” your vehicle (i.e.,

turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid

the emergency). Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control,
