WARNING!
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot
prevent the natural laws of phys-
ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road condi-
tions.
ESC cannot prevent collisions, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns,driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also
cannot prevent collisions resulting from the loss
of vehicle control due to inappropriate driver
input for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive,
and skillfull driver can prevent collisions.
The capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle
must never be explained in a reckless or danger-
ous manner which could jeopardize t he user's
safety or the safety of others.
ESC Operating Modes
The ESC system has two available operating modes.
Full On
This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever
the vehicle is started the system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for most driving situations.
ESC should only be turned to “Partial Off for specific
reasons as noted. Refer to “Partial Off for additional
information.
