If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In
Mud or Snow
Note:
Do not rock the vehicle if the
engine is not at normal operating
temperature or damage to the
transmission may occur.
Note:
Do not rock the vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or
the engine may overheat.
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or
snow, it may be rocked out by shifting
between forward and reverse gears,
stopping between shifts in a steady
pattern. Press lightly on the
accelerator in each gear.
HILL START ASSIST
(IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNINGS
The system does not replace the
parking brake. When you leave
your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake and put the vehicle in
P
(Park).
You must remain in your vehicle
once you have activated the
system.
During all times, you are
responsible for controlling your
vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required.
If the engine is revved
excessively, or if a malfunction
is detected, the system will be
deactivated.
The system makes it easier to pull
away when your vehicle is on a slope
without the need to use the parking
brake.
When the system is active, your
vehicle will remain stationary on the
slope for two to three seconds after
you release the brake pedal. This
allows you time to move your foot
from the brake to the accelerator
pedal. The brakes are released
automatically once the engine has
developed sufficient drive to prevent
your vehicle from rolling down the
slope. This is an advantage when
pulling away on a slope, (for example
from a car park ramp, traffic lights or
when reversing uphill into a parking
space).
The system will activate
automatically on any slope which can
result in significant vehicle rollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete standstill.
Keep the brake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that your
vehicle is on a slope, the system
will be activated automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from
the brake pedal, your vehicle will
remain on the slope without rolling
away for approximately two or
three seconds. This hold time will
automatically be extended if you
are in the process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner.
The brakes will be released
automatically.
