Jump-starting
WARNING
The intelligent technology of the dynamic starting assistance
features cannot overcome the laws of physics. Never let the in-
creased convenience provided by the dynamic starting assis-
tance features tempt you into taking risks.
Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious personal
injury.
The dynamic starting assistance features are no substitute
for careful and attentive driving.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to visibility,
weather, road, and traffic conditions.
The dynamic starting assistance features cannot keep the
vehicle from moving in all hill-start situations (for example, if
the ground is slippery or icy).
Never activate the throttle manually from the engine com-
partment when the engine is running and the automatic trans-
mission is in gear. The vehicle will start to move as soon as the
engine speed increases, even if the parking brake is set.
