SAFETY 225
(64 km/h). At speeds over 40 mph (64 km/h), the
system automatically switches to “Partial Off” mode,
described above. When the vehicle speed returns to
less than 35
mph (56 km/h), the ESC system will
return
to “Full Off” mode. The ESC OFF Indicator
Light is always illuminated when ESC is off. To turn
ESC on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF
button. This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode
of operation.
NOTE:
With the ESC switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stabil
ity offered by ESC is unavailable. In an emer-
gency evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
e
ngage to assist in maintaining stability. “Full Off”
mode is only intended for off-highway or off-road
use.
NOTE:
“Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESC in
4WD Low. The ESC system will be in this mode
whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD Low or
the power transfer unit is shifted into 4WD Low.
The “ESC OFF” message will display and a chime
will sound when the gear selector is moved from
any position to the PARK (P) position and then
moved out of the PARK position. This will occur
even if the message was cleared previously.
Selec-Terrain — If Equipped
On models equipped with Selec-Terrain, the
a
ctivation of some driving modes provide partial
off or full off of some active safety systems in order
to optimize performance in specific modes.
Partial or full off of the active safety systems will be
indica
ted by a light in the instrument cluster.
In "SAND" and "MUD", the active safety systems
are partially disabled and put in place to ensure
maximum performance in the specific mode of
operation. However, you can reactivate them
completely at any time by pushing the ESC button.
NOTE:
In 4WD Low, the active safety systems are
complet
ely bypassed in order to ensure maximum
off-road performance.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster will come
on when
the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position. 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 dealer
as soon
as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
(locate
d in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as
soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system
becomes active. The ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light also flashes when Traction Control
System is active. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed
and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
and the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on
momentarily each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
Each time the ignition is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the ESC system will be on even if it was
turned
off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive
following the maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.
The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is in
“
Partial Off” or “Full Off” modes.
The ESC OFF button is located in the center
console.
