420 STARTING AND OPERATING
ESC Operating Modes
The ESC system has two or three available operating
modes:
ESC On
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. The ESC should only be turned OFF for
specific reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.
Partial Off
The "Partial Off" mode is intended for times when a
more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also
intended for driving in deep snow, sand, or gravel. This
mode disables the TCS portion of the ESC and raises the
threshold for ESC activation, which allows for more
wheel spin than what ESC normally allows.
The "ESC Off" switch is located on the switch bank in the
center of the instrument panel. 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.
WARNING!
• 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.
