WARNING! (Continued)
Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly
maintain your vehicle, may change the
handling characteristics of your vehicle,
and may negatively affect the performance
of the ESC system. Changes to the steering
system, suspension, braking system, tire
type and size or wheel size may adversely
affect ESC performance. Improperly
inflated and unevenly worn tires may also
degrade ESC performance. Any vehicle
modification or poor vehicle maintenance
that reduces the effectiveness of the ESC
system can increase the risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.

The following ESC Operating modes are
available:
Sport: Provides reduced stability control.
Street: Provides full (default) stability control.
Full: Provides traction control and stability
control optimized for slippery conditions.
Baja: Optimizes the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS), traction control, and stability control
for high-speed off-road driving.
Rock: Optimizes traction control for
low-speed off-road driving/crawling.
NOTE:
Not all ESC operating modes are selectable in
the setup menu. Some ESC settings are precon-
figured by the selected drive mode and may not
be adjusted; see Ú page 51 for additional infor-
mation.
WARNING!
When in "Partial Off" mode, the TCS func-
tionality of ESC (except for the limited slip
feature described in the TCS section) has
been disabled and the ESC OFF Indicator
Light will be illuminated. When in "Partial
Off" mode, the engine power reduction
feature of TCS is disabled, and the
enhanced vehicle stability offered by the
ESC system is reduced.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when
the ESC system is in the "Partial Off" mode.
WARNING!
In the ESC "Full Off" mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features are
disabled. Therefore, enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system is
unavailable. In an emergency evasive
maneuver, the ESC system will not engage
to assist in maintaining stability. ESC "Full
Off" mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all
accidents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very
slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also
cannot prevent collisions.
