JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE — 12 VOLT BATTERY
•If your vehicle has a discharged 12 Volt battery, it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster
pack .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.
Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located in the underhood compartment under the beauty
cover .
1. Set the parking brake, place the transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to
OFF/LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF .
Jump-Starting Procedure
1.Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the dis-
charged vehicle .
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 a good ground (exposed
metal part of the discharged vehicle) away from the battery and the high voltage cables.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the the vehicle with the discharged battery .
• Once the vehicle has started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper cable from the ground (-)of the vehicle with the
discharged battery .
2. Disconnect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable from the negative (-)post of the
booster battery .
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
60

3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable from the positive (+)post
of the booster battery .
4. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable from the positive (+)post of the
discharged vehicle .
• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized studio .
CAUTION!
•Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from
the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e ., cellular phones, etc.).Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
• 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, starter motor, alterna-
tor or electrical system may occur .
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle .
WARNING!
•Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury .
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen
gas which is flammable and explosive .Keep open flames or sparks away from the
battery .
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the 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 .

MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating the
Manual Park Release.Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll
away if it is not secured by the parking brake or other means. Activating the Manual Park
Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or
around the vehicle .
• In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK
(such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available .Ifadead12voltbatteryis
the cause of the condition refer to “Jump Start Procedure — 12 Volt Battery” before
performing the Manual Park Release .
• To perform the Manual Park Release follow these steps:
1. To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake .
2.
If possible, raise the front driver's side of the vehicle to provide access to the transmission .
3.Working from underneath the vehicle, remove the black rubber plug from the front of
the Park module (a black canister mounted on the front of the transmission).
4. Using a T25 driver bit, rotate the Manual Park Release shaft (located just behind the
rubber plug) clockwise, at least 20 turns, to release the Park mechanism. The vehicle is
now out of PARK and can be moved.
5. Reinstall the rubber plug.
6. Release the parking brake only when a
driver is in the vehicle, or the vehicle is
secured by other means. The Manual Park
Release will be reset automatically once
the vehicle is restarted.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
•This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial
wrecker service .
Towing Condition Wheels OFF The Ground Single-Speed Transmission
Flat Tow NONE
NOT ALLOWED
Wheel Lift Rear
NOT ALLOWED
Front OK
Flatbed ALL OK
• This vehicle must be towed on a flatbed truck or vehicle trailer with the front wheels
OFF the ground.
•
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc .) while being towed, the ignition must
be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC position .
•If the ignition key is unavailable, or the battery is discharged, see “Manual Park Release” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for instructions on shifting the transmission out of PARK
for towing.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components .Damage to your vehicle may
result from improper towing.

ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network andpower remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine
whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Disable the high voltage battery .
• Place the transmission into PARK.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or
until the ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically .
•
In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in NEUTRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional .To place the transmission into NEUTRAL you must
turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle the ignition) then press the
NEUTRAL button .
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized studio .
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 .Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Press the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial
Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle .Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Starting And
Operating” for further information. Once the vehicle has been freed, press the “ESC Off ”
switch again to restore “ESC On” mode .
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.
• 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 .
