The ESP system has two available operating modes:

ESP On

This is the normal operating mode for the ESP. Whenever

the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode.

This mode should be used for most driving conditions.

The ESP 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 ESP and raises the

threshold for ESP activation, which allows for more

wheel spin than what ESP normally allows.

The ESP OFF switch is located on the switch bank in the

center of the instrument panel. To enter the “Partial Off”

mode, momentarily press the ESP OFF switch and the

“ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illuminate. To turn the

ESP on again, momentarily press the ESP OFF switch and

the “ESP/TCS 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 ESP OFF

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

overcome, turn the ESP on again by momentarily press-

ing the ESP OFF switch. This may be done while the

vehicle is in motion.

Synchronizing ESP

The Malfunction Indicator Light for the ESP is

combined with BAS indicator. If the power

supply is interrupted (battery disconnected or

discharged), the “ESP/BAS Malfunction Indi-

cator Light” may illuminate with the engine running. If

this should occur, turn the steering wheel completely to

the left and then to the right. The “ESP/BAS Malfunction
