maneuver, the ESC and ERM systems will not engage
to assist in maintaining stability. The %ESC Full Off%
mode is intended for off-road use only.
4L Range (4WD Models)
ESC Full Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESC in 4L range.
Whenever the vehicle is started in 4L range, or the
transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4H range or
NEUTRAL to 4L range, the ESC system will be in this
mode. In 4L range, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake
Limited Differential (BLD) feature described in the TCS
section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches an ap-
proximate speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For speeds at or
exceeding approximately 40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes
into #ESC Partial Off# When the vehicle speed drops
below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC system goes back to
#ESC Full Off#. The ESC is in #ESC Full Off# at low vehicle
speeds in 4L range so that it will not interfere with
off-road driving, but the ESC function returns to provide
the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h).
The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” will always be illumi-
nated in 4L range when ESC is in #ESC Full Off# or #ESC
Partial Off#.
NOTE: The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the shift lever is placed in
the PARK position from any position other than PARK,
and then moved out of the PARK position. This will
occur even if the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
With the ESC in %ESC Full Off% mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features offered by
ESC and ERM are disabled. In an emergency evasive
