4WD/4WD LOCK or 2WD Models
ON
This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD LOCK
and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started or
the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD LOW
or NEUTRALback to 4WD LOCK, the ESP system will be
in this mode. This mode should be used for almost all
driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial
Off” for specific reasons as noted below.
This mode is entered by momentarily
depressing the ESP OFF Control
Switch. When in “Partial Off” mode,
the engine management portion of
ESP has been desensitized, the thresh-
olds for ESP activation are raised, and
the “ESP/TCS 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 ESP
would normally allow is required to gain traction. Trailer
Sway Control (TSC) is not available when the system is in
the 9Partial Off9 mode. To turn ESP on again, momen-
tarily depress the ESP OFF Control Switch. This will
restore the normal ON mode of operation. ESP always
operates under braking, even with the switch in the OFF
position.
WARNING!
In the “Partial Off” mode, the engine torque reduc-
tion and stability features are desensitized. There-
fore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is
unavailable.
