338 STARTING AND OPERATING
WARNING! (Continued)
• Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly main-
tain your vehicle, may change the handling charac-
teristics of your vehicle, and may negatively affect
the performance of the ESC system. Changes to the
steering system, suspension, braking system, tire
type and size or wheel size may adversely affect ESC
performance. Improperly inflated and unevenly
worn tires may also degrade ESC performance. Any
vehicle modification or poor vehicle maintenance
that reduces the effectiveness of the ESC system can
increase the risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death.
ESC Operating Modes — SRT
NOTE: Depending upon model and mode of operation, the
ESC system may have multiple operating modes.
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. Whenever
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.
Partial Off
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.
NOTE:
• For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes a momen-
tary button push will toggle the ESC mode. Multiple
momentary button pushed may be required to return to
ESC On.
• Traction Sport and Traction Track (if equipped) are
ESC partial off mode(s). Upon the first push of the ESC
button the system goes into SPORT mode, indication
comes on in the cluster (a picture of the vehicle with the
word SPORT), and the light in the cluster is illuminated.
The second push of the ESC button the system will go
into TRACK mode, indication comes on in the cluster (a
picture of the vehicle with the word TRACK), and the
light in the cluster remains illuminated. When it is
pushed a third time the ESC will go back into ESC On,
no indication, and the illumination in the cluster turns
off.
