Full Off (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only)
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road
use when ESC stability features could inhibit
vehicle maneuverability due to trail conditions.
This mode is entered by pushing and holding the
ESC OFF button for five seconds when the vehicle
is stopped and the engine is running. After five
seconds, the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate
and the "ESC Off" message will appear in the
instrument cluster display.
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, as described
previously. TCS remains off. When the vehicle
speed drops below 30 mph (48 km/h), the ESC
system shuts off. ESC is deactivated at low vehicle
speeds so that it will not interfere with off-road
driving. However, 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 push the ESC
OFF button. This will restore the "ESC On" mode of
operation.
NOTE:
The "ESC Off" message will display and an audible
chime will sound when the gear selector 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.
The ESC OFF button is located on the faceplate
below the radio.
WARNING!
In the "Full Off" mode, the engine torque reduc-
tion and stability features are disabled. In an
emergency evasive maneuver, the ESC system
will not engage to assist in maintaining stability.
"ESC Off" mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only.
SAFETY
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster will come
on when the ignition is turned to the ON
mode. It should go out with the engine
running. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected
in the ESC system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater
than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer
as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
(located in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as
soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system
becomes active. The ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light also flashes when TCS is active. If
the ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the
accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.
Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions.
