brake CHRYSLER PACIFICA HYBRID 2018 Manual PDF

Carefully move the vehicle to a Level 1 or Level 2 charge
location. While the vehicle is being moved, the external
12V power must remained connected to the vehicle
jump posts.
NOTE: Be careful when moving the vehicle - ensure that
control of the vehicle is maintained. Also, ensure that
vehicle is secured to prevent unintentional movement
during and after moving the vehicle. If the external 12V
power becomes disconnected from the vehicle jump posts
or there is an interruption of the 12V power while moving
the vehicle, the vehicle’s transmission may engage PARK.
When the vehicle is at the charging location, shift the
transmission back to PARK, apply the electric park brake,
and start the high voltage battery charging. Once the
vehicle has been secured against unintentional movement
and high voltage battery charging has been initiated, the
jumper cables can be removed from the vehicle jump posts. Jump starting can be dangerous if done improperly so
please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, follow
the manufacturer ’s operating instructions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other
booster source with a system voltage greater than 12
Volts or damage to the battery, alternator or electrical
system may occur.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 419

Preparations For Jump Start
The remote battery posts in your vehicle is located on the
left side of the engine compartment.
WARNING!
You can be seriously injured or killed working on or
around a motor vehicle:
•Keep hands away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts automatically and
may start at any time, whether the engine is running
or not.
• Remove any jewelry such as rings, watches and
bracelets that could make an inadvertent electrical
contact.
• Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your
skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive.
1. Apply the parking brake and place the ignition to OFF.
NOTE: If the 12V Battery has been sufficiently discharged,
this may not be possible.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
Jump Starting Locations
(+) — Positive Battery Post
(-) — Negative Battery Post 420 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

3. If using another vehicle to jump start the 12V electricalsystem, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach,
set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and personal injury
could result.
Jump Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure could
result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle
or the discharged vehicle. Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive
(+)end of the jumper cable to the
positive (+)post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper
cable to the positive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-)end of the jumper cable to the
negative (-)post of the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper
cable to the negative post near the windshield cowl
(exposed metal post of the discharged vehicle).
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 421

CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”, pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi-
tioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the
normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn
the vehicle off immediately, and call for service.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can
often be moved using a rocking motion. Turn the steering
wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and
REVERSE while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be
achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less.
Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL for more
than half a second, you must press the brake pedal to
engage DRIVE or REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will
maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels
or holding down the accelerator pedal. NOTE:
Push the ESC Off switch to place the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system in Partial Offmode, before
rocking the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control
System” in “Safety” for further information. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the ESC Offswitch again to
restore ESC On mode.
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.
CAUTION!
•When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between
DRIVE and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster
than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.

424 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

NOTE:
•You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake feature is
disabled before towing this vehicle (if rear wheels are on
the ground), to avoid inadvertent Electric Park Brake
engagement. The Auto Park Brake feature is enabled or
disabled via the customer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.
• Vehicles with a discharged battery or total electrical
failure when the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is en-
gaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack to raise the rear
wheels off the ground when moving the vehicle onto a
flatbed.
The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with
all four wheels OFFthe ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this vehicle must be
towed with the front wheels OFF the ground (using a
towing dolly, or wheel lift equipment with the front wheels
raised).
NOTE: Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, and
remains released, while being towed.CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above require-
ments can cause severe transmission damage. Damage
from improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Vehicle Recovery Tow Points
Your vehicle is equipped with Vehicle Recovery Points that
can be used to recover a disabled vehicle, located on the
underbody of the vehicle.
NOTE:
• Ensure that the towing service tow hooks are properly
seated and secured in the attachment points.
• This recovery tow feature should be used by a trained
professional only.
• Use approved receptacle location to free the disabled
vehicle from its environment.
426 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

CAUTION!
Recovery feature:
•Is to be used by a professional ONLY.
• Is used only to provide recovery of the vehicle.
• Is NOT to be used to recover secondary vehicle.
• Is NOT to be used for transporting the vehicle over
the road, i.e. “Flat Towing”.
Recovery load should:
• Be applied at constant speed.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Be applied parallel to the center line of the length of
the vehicle.
• Not be an abrupt acceleration.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN
mode, not the ACC mode.
NOTE: The Safehold feature will engage the Electric Park
Brake whenever the driver’s door is opened (if the ignition
is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and brake pedal is
released). If you are towing this vehicle with the ignition in
the ON/RUN mode, you must manually disable the Elec-
tric Park Brake each time the driver’s door is opened, by
pressing the brake pedal and then releasing the EPB.
CAUTION!
• Do not use sling-type equipment when towing. Ve-
hicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not
