104 SAFETY
NOTE:
“Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESC
in 4L Range. The ESC system will be in this
mode whenever the vehicle is started in 4L
range or the power transfer unit is shifted
into 4L Range.
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
activation 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 indicated 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 4L Range, the active safety systems are
completely 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” (located 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
position, 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 switch is located in the center
console.
