All Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles in 4WD AUTO and

4WD LOCK Modes Can Also Choose the

Following ESC Operating Mode. This is the Only

ESC Operating Mode in 4WD LOW:

Full Off

This mode is intended for off-road use when ESC stabil-

ity features could inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to

trail conditions. This mode is entered by pressing and

holding the “ESC Off” switch for five seconds when the

vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After five

seconds, the “ESP Off Indicator Light” will illuminate

and the “ESC 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 “ESC OFF” message will display and the

audible chime will sound when the shift lever 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, 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, described above. When the vehicle speed drops

below 35 mph (56 km/h) the ESC system shuts off. ESC

is off at low vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere

with off-road driving but 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

press the “ESC Off” switch. This will restore the normal

“ESC On” mode of operation.
