ESC Partial Off

This mode is entered by momentarily pushing the ESC

OFF switch. When in

ESC Partial Off

mode, the TCS

portion of ESC (except for the limited slip feature described

in the TCS section), has been disabled and the

ESC Off

Indicator Light

will be illuminated.

This mode is intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep

snow, sand, or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than

ESC would normally allow is required to gain traction. To

turn ESC on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF switch.

This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode of operation.

NOTE:

To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving

with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand, or

gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the

ESC Partial Off

mode by pushing the ESC OFF switch. Once the situation

requiring ESC to be switched to the

ESC Partial Off

mode

is overcome, turn ESC back on by momentarily pushing the

ESC OFF switch. This may be done while the vehicle is in

motion.

WARNING!

When in

ESC Partial Off

mode, the TCS function-

ality of ESC, (except for the limited slip feature
described in the TCS section), has been disabled and
the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illuminated.
When in

ESC Partial Off

mode, the engine power

reduction feature of TCS is disabled, and the en-
hanced vehicle stability offered by the ESC system is
reduced.

Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled when the ESC
system is in the

ESC Partial Off

mode.

ESC Full Off

This mode is entered by pushing and holding the ESC OFF

switch for five seconds.
In the

ESC Full Off

mode, the engine torque reduction

and stability features are disabled. Therefore, the enhanced

vehicle stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In an

emergency evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not

engage to assist in maintaining stability. “ESC Full Off”

mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only.
