CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engine
over-heating, transaxle damage or
failure, and tire damage.
WARNING
n Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially at
speeds more than 56 km/h (35
mph). Spinning the wheels at high
speeds when the vehicle is station‐
ary could cause a tire to overheat
which could result in tire damage
that may injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The ESC system should be turned
OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the ve‐
hicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for‐
ward of backward as it becomes un‐
stuck, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor‐
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be
held to a minimum.
