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
turned to the ON position. It
should go out with the engine running. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” comes on continuously with the en-
gine running, a malfunction has been de-
tected in the ESC system. If this light re-
mains 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” (located in the instrument cluster)
starts to flash as soon as the tires lose trac-
tion 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 accelera-
tor 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 igni-
tion switch is turned ON.
• Each time the ignition is turned ON, the
ESC system will be ON even if it was turned
off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or click-
ing 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 partially off or
full off.
The ESC OFF switch is located in the center
console.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
This system anticipates the potential for
wheel lift by monitoring the driver’s steering
wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
When ERM determines that the rate of
change of the steering wheel angle and vehi-
cle's speed are sufficient to potentially cause
wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate
brake and may also reduce engine power to
lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur.
ERM will only intervene during very severe or
evasive driving maneuvers. ERM can only
reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring
during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It
cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors,
such as road conditions, leaving the roadway,
or striking objects or other vehicles.
NOTE:
ERM is disabled anytime the ESC is in “Full
Off” mode. Refer to Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC) in this section for a complete
explanation of the available ESC modes.
