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 .

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Once A Month Or Before A Trip:
•Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoirs and brake master cylinder
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals.
Refer to the maintenance schedules on the following page for the required maintenance
intervals.
At Every Service Interval:
• Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear .
The front and rear tires are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other, refer
to “Tire Rotation Recommendations” for further information .
• Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, and hoses .
• Inspect battery cooling system protection and hoses .
• Check and adjust hand brake .

TIRE PRESSURES
•Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and
inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle .
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warnings
and instructions.

WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect ve-
hicle handling, and increase your stopping distance .Use tires of the recommended
load capacity for your vehicle .Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the
leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation,
or “blow out” .Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock .Objects on the
road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure .Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE:
The front and rear tires are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other .Rot ate
the tires “side-to-side” as shown in the diagram.
•
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at different loads and per-
form different steering, driving, and braking
functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates.
• These effects can be reduced by timely
rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation
are especially worthwhile with aggressive
tread designs such as those on all season
type tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow and wet traction
levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride .
• Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals. The reasons
for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
