ESC Operating Modes
The ESC system has two available operating modes:
Full On
This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever
the vehicle is started the ESC system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for almost all driving situa-
tions. ESC should only be turned to “Partial Off” for
specific reasons as noted below.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the “ESC
Off” switch (located in the lower switch bank above the
heater/air conditioning controls) or by shifting to “S” (if
equipped). When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion
of ESC, except for the limited slip feature described in the
TCS section, has been disabled and the “ESC OFF Indi-
cator Light” will be illuminated. All other stability fea-
tures of ESC function normally, with the exception of
engine power reduction. This mode is intended to be
used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand, or gravel
conditions and more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC Off”
switch or by shifting out of “S” (if equipped). This will
restore the normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
