2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owner’s Manual — 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. Push

and hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then, shift back and forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) while gently pressing the accelerator.

Shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) can only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph

(8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL (N) for more than two seconds, you must press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R).

Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.

NOTE: 7

Push the ESC OFF switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial Off” mode, before rocking the vehicle page 257. Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF switch again to restore ESC On mode.
