The following ESC operating modes are available;
see Ú page 52 for additional information.
DRAG: Provides optimized performance with the

least amount of stability control.
SPORT: Provides balanced traction and stability

control.
NORMAL: Provides full traction control and full

stability control.
WARNING!
In the ESC "Drag" mode, the engine torque

reduction and stability features are disabled.
Therefore, enhanced vehicle stability offered
by the ESC system is unavailable. In an emer-
gency 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.
(ESC)
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 condi-
tions. 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.
