ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
briefly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow or mud, by temporarily stopping
operation of ESC, to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn off ESC while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC, ABS,
and Parking Brake warning lights
appear. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do not spin
the wheel(s) excessively while these
lights appear.
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure ESC is turned
off (ESC OFF light illuminated).
Information
Turning ESC off does not affect ABS or
standard brake system operation.

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
Vehicle Stability Management is a
function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps the vehicle
stay stable when accelerating or braking
suddenly on wet, slippery, and rough
roads where traction over the four tires
can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
VSM is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. To prevent serious injury or
death:
• Always monitor the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead of you.
• Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. Excessive speed in bad
weather or on slippery and uneven
roads may result in severe collisions.
VSM operation
The VSM operates when:
• Vehicle speed is approximately above 9
mph (15 km/h) on curve roads.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above
12 mph (20 km/h) when the vehicle is
braking on rough roads
• The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is
on.
