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 dis-

tance for braking.

• Avoid sudden movements in braking or

steering.

• 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.

E110200ABH-EU

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.

WARNING - ABS

Do not pump the brake pedal on a

speed could cause the tires to skid.

Be careful when downshifting on

slippery surfaces.

CAUTION

Prolonged rocking may cause

engine over-heating, transmission

damage or failure, and tire damage.
