SAFETY 105
Full Off (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only)
This mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use when ESC stability features could
inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to trail
conditions. This mode is entered by pushing
and holding the “ESC OFF” switch for five
seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the
engine is running. After five seconds, the "ESC
OFF Indicator Light" will illuminate and the “ESC
OFF” message will appear in the instrument
cluster display.
In this mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS
section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches
a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At 40 mph
(64 km/h), the system returns to “Partial Off”
mode, as described above. TCS remains off.
When the vehicle speed drops below 30 mph
(48 km/h), the ESC system shuts off. ESC is
deactivated at low vehicle speeds so that it will
not interfere with off-road driving. However, ESC
function returns to provide the stability feature
at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The "ESC
OFF Indicator Light" will always be illuminated
when ESC is off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the
“ESC OFF” switch. This will restore the “ESC On”
mode of operation.
NOTE:
The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the gear selector
is placed into the PARK (P) position from any
other position, and then moved out of the PARK
position. This will occur even if the message was
previously cleared.
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
is turned to the ON 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 (km) at speeds greater than
30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as
soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
WARNING!
When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS func-
tionality 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 "Full Off" mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are disabled.
In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESC
system will not engage to assist in
maintaining stability. “ESC Off” mode is
intended for off-highway or off-road use only.
