When in “Partial Off” mode, the engine torque reduction
feature is cancelled. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESP is unavailable. However, a fea-
ture of the system remains active. This feature controls
wheel spin across an axle quite similarly to a limited slip
differential. If one wheel on an axle is spinning faster
than the other, the system will apply the brake of the
spinning wheel and allow more engine torque to be
applied to the wheel that is not spinning.
To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily
depress the “ESP OFF” switch in the switch
bank above the climate controls. To turn the
ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP
OFF” switch again. This will restore the normal “ESP On”
mode of operation. This may be done while the vehicle is
in motion.
WARNING!
In the Partial Off mode, the engine torque reduction
is cancelled and the stability features are desensi-
tized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability of-
fered by ESP is unavailable.
ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and
ESP/TCS Indicator Light
The malfunction indicator light for the ESP is
combined with the BAS indicator. The “ESP/
BAS Malfunction Indicator Light” and the
“ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine
running.
