ESC Operating Modes

The ESC system has three available operating modes:

ESC On

This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. When-

ever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this

mode. This mode should be used for most driving

situations. The ESC should only be turned OFF for

specific reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.

Partial Off

The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times when a

more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also

intended for driving in deep snow, sand, or gravel. This

mode disables the TCS portion of the ESC and raises the

threshold for ESC activation, which allows for more

wheel spin than what ESC normally allows.

The “ESC Off” switch is located in the switch bank near

the bottom center of the instrument panel. To enter the

“Partial Off” mode, momentarily press the “ESC Off”

switch and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” will illuminate. To turn the ESC ON again, mo-

mentarily press the “ESC Off” switch and the “ESC

Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will turn off.

NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving

with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow,

sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the

“Partial Off” mode by momentarily pressing the “ESC

Off” switch. Once the situation requiring “Partial Off”

mode is overcome, turn the ESC ON again by momen-

tarily pressing the “ESC Off” switch. This may be done

while the vehicle is in motion.
