rollover, personal injury and death.

ESC Operation Modes

To disable ESC and other safety systems, follow the instruc-
tion below.
There are three modes of active safety systems present on
the vehicle:
• ESC On
• Partial Off
• Full Off
ESC On – Two Wheel Drive Vehicles And Four Wheel
Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High Range
This is the normal operating mode for ESC when operating
a two-wheel drive vehicle. It is also the normal mode for
operating a four-wheel drive vehicle in 2WD or 4WD
HIGH range. The ESC system will be in "ESC On" mode
whenever the vehicle is started or the power transfer unit
(if equipped) is shifted out of 4WD LOW range. This mode
should be used for most driving situations. ESC should
only be turned to "Partial Off" or "Full Off" for specific
reasons as noted. Refer to "Partial Off" and to "Full Off" for
additional information.
NOTE: It is recommended to select the mode Partial Off
or Full Off only for specific reasons.
