ESC Operating Modes

NOTE: Depending upon model and mode of operation,

the ESC system may have multiple operating modes.

This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. When-

ever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this

mode. This mode should be used for most driving

conditions. Alternate ESC modes should only be used for

specific reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.

The "Partial Off" mode is intended for times when a more

spirited driving experience is desired. This mode may

modify TCS and ESC thresholds for activation, which

allows for more wheel spin than normally allowed. This

mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.

To enter the "Partial Off" mode, momentarily push the

"ESC Off" switch and the "ESC Off Indicator Light" will

illuminate. To turn the ESC on again, momentarily push

the "ESC Off" switch and the "ESC Off Indicator Light"

will turn off.

• When in "Partial Off" mode, the TCS functionality

of ESC, (except for the limited slip feature de-

scribed 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 sys-

tem is reduced.

• Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled when the

ESC system is in the "Partial Off" mode.
