WARNING!
With ESC in the permanent disable mode,
enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESC
and ERM systems is unavailable. In an emer-
gency evasive maneuver, the ESC and ERM
systems will not engage to assist in maintain-
ing stability. This disabled mode is intended
for off-highway or off-road use only. Vehicle
modifications requiring the owner to configure
the vehicle in the ESC disabled mode, will
seriously affect the vehicle's roadworthiness
and safety and may lead to loss of control
and/or accident resulting in possible serious
or fatal injuries.
The following procedure will disable (or re-
enable) ESC functionality in the vehicle:
1. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range
position.
2. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered
and the wheels are pointed straight ahead.
3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON.
4. Wait approximately five seconds for the sys-
tem bulb check.
5. Turn and hold the steering wheel one-half
turn to the right (clockwise).
6. Press and hold the ESC OFF button for
seven seconds.
7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, and
turn and hold an additional one-half turn to the
left (counterclockwise).
8. Press and hold the ESC OFF button for
seven seconds.
9. Turn the steering wheel back to center.
10. Press and hold the ESC OFF button for
seven seconds.
11. Cycle the ignition key to OFF.
After performing the ESC disable procedure
correctly, "ESC OFF" will be displayed in the
odometer for approximately 12 seconds each
time the ignition is moved to ON. Repeating the
ESC disable procedure will re-enable normal
ESC operation.

dealer as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
