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 trans-
mission.
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.

In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in NEU-
TRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional.To place the transmission into NEU-
TRAL you must turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle the igni-
tion) then push the NEUTRAL button.
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized dealership.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a rock-
ing 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 pushing the
accelerator.Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Push the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Par-
tial Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle.Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Start-
ing And Operating” on the DVD for further information.Once the vehicle has been
freed, push 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.
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 lon-
ger than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
