SAFETY 135
(Continued)
NOTE:
For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes, a
mom
entary button push will toggle the ESC
mode. Multiple momentary button pushed may
be required to return to ESC on.
Full Off — If Equipped
This mode is intended for off-highway or
off
-road use only and should not be used on any
public roadways. In this mode, TCS and ESC
features are turned OFF. To enter the “Full Off”
mode, push and hold the “ESC Off” switch for
five seconds while the vehicle is stopped with
the engine running. After five seconds, a chime
will sound, the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” will
illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message will
display in the instrument cluster. To turn ESC on
again, momentarily push the “ESC OFF” switch.
NOTE:
System may switch from ESC “Full Off” to
“Pa
rtial Off” mode when vehicle exceeds a
predetermined speed. When the vehicle speed
slows below the predetermined speed the
system will return to ESC “Full Off”.
ESC modes may also be affected by off-road
mod
es (if equipped).
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
clus
ter will come on when the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN mode. It
should go out with the engine running. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
comes on continuously with the engine running,
a malfunction has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after several
ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater
than 30
mph (48 km/h), see an authorized
dea
ler as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
WARNING!
When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS
functionality 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
“Partial Off” mode, the engine power
reduction feature of TCS is disabled, and
the enhanced vehicle stability offered by
the ESC system is reduced.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when
the ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.
WARNING!
In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features are
disabled. Therefore, enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system 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.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all
accidents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very
slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also
cannot prevent collisions.
