If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or Snow

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the motor is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Excessive rocking of the vehicle may eventually cause a loss of

power as the powertrain protects against overheating or damage.

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.

REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The Reverse Sensing System (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of

obstacles near the rear bumper when R (Reverse) is selected and the

vehicle is moving at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system is not

effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain

angular or moving objects.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, please read and

understand the limitations of the reverse sensing system as

contained in this section. Sensing is only an aid for some (generally

large and fixed) objects when moving in reverse on a flat surface at

parking speeds. Traffic control systems, inclement weather, air brakes,

and external motors and fans may also affect the function of the

sensing system; this may include reduced performance or a false

activation.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, always use caution

when in R (Reverse) and when using the sensing system.

WARNING: This system is not designed to prevent contact with

small or moving objects. The system is designed to provide a

warning to assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to

avoid damaging the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects,

particularly those close to the ground.
