When in ⬙ESC Full Off⬙ mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
Brake Limited Differential (BLD) feature described in the
TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches an
approximate 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⬙. To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF
switch. This will restore normal “ESC On” mode of opera-
tion. The ⬙ESC Off Indicator Light” will always be illumi-
nated when ESC is in ⬙ESC Partial Off⬙ and ⬙ESC full Off⬙.
WARNING!
With the ESC in ⴖESC Full Offⴖ mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features offered by ESC
and ERM are disabled. In an emergency evasive ma-
neuver, the ESC and ERM systems will not engage to
assist in maintaining stability. The ⴖESC Full Offⴖ
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 approximate 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
