• Slip the lace from its seat.
• With the tip of a screwdriver press
the clip shown in the picture box and
lift the lace up to release the
transmission from the P (Park)
position. The new position will allow
vehicle towing.
• Release the parking brake only when
the vehicle is securely connected to a
tow vehicle.
Freeing the Stuck Vehicle
If your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, or
snow, it can probably be moved by a
simple rocking motion.
Steer the wheel right and left to clear
the area around the front wheels.
Shift then between D (Drive) or M
(Manual) and R (Reverse) (see chapter
“Automatic Gearbox” in section 5).
Shifting to M (Manual), try to free the
car starting in second gear. At low
speed motion of the vehicle, you can
switch quickly from D (Drive) to R
(Reverse), and vice versa, just by
pressing the release button on the
gear lever.
For more effectiveness press lightly on
the accelerator pedal in order to avoid
driving wheel slippage.
If unable to release the vehicle in one
of the previously described ways, enter
the low grip driving mode, by pressing
the I C E, and completely exclude the
yaw and slip control system, by
pressing the
button for 2 seconds.
Moving the shift lever between D
(Drive) and R (Reverse) to start.
Notes for AWD vehicle models
On these vehicles slippage produced
by low grip conditions, automatically
activates the AWD mode. Using the
drive mode M (Manual), the insertion
of AWD will happen immediately
when engaging a forward gear.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
drive wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the shift lever in N
(Neutral) for at least one minute after
every five rocking-motion cycles. This
will minimize overheating and reduce
the risk of transmission failure during
prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive drive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the drivetrain and
tires. A tire could explode and injure
someone. Do not spin your vehicle's
wheels continuously without stopping
when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no
matter what the speed.
