WARNING!
• When in "Partial Off" mode, the TCS func-
tionality of ESC, (except for the limited slip

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 en-

system is reduced.
• Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the "Partial Off"
mode.
NOTE:

momentarily pressing the "ESC Off" switch.
