ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•
In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network
and power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will deter-
mine 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 dealership
.
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 “Par-
tial Off” mode, before rocking the vehicle
.
Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Start-
ing 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
.
