holding the “ESP Control Switch” for five seconds when
the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After
five seconds, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illumi-
nate and the “ESP Off” message will appear in the
odometer. Press and release the trip odometer button
located on the instrument cluster to clear this message.
NOTE: The “ESP OFF” message will display and the
audible chime will sound when the gear selector is
placed into the PARK position from any other position,
and then moved out of the PARK position. This will
occur even if the message was previously cleared.
In this mode, ESP 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,
described above. When the vehicle speed drops below 35
mph (56 km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is off at low
vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere with off-road
driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability
feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The “ESP/
TCS Indicator Light” will always be illuminated when
ESP is off. To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the
“ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “ESP
On’ mode of operation.
“ESP Off” is the only operating mode for ESP in 4LO.
Whenever the vehicle is started in 4LO or the transfer
case (if equipped) is shifted from 4HI or Neutral, to 4LO,
the ESP system will be in this mode.
WARNING!
With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle sta-
bility offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emergency
evasive maneuver, the ESP system will not engage to
assist in maintaining stability. “ESP Off” mode is
intended for off-highway or off-road use, only.
