WARNING! (Continued)
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. ESC also cannot prevent collisions
resulting from loss of vehicle control due to inappro-
priate driver input for the conditions. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent collisions.
The capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner
which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety
of others.
ESC Operating Modes
Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESC
system has up to three operating modes: "ESC On"
"Partial Off," and "Full Off."
ESC On — Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles And Four-Wheel
Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High Range
This is the normal operating mode for ESC when oper-
ating a two-wheel drive vehicle. It is also the normal
mode for operating a four-wheel drive vehicle in 2WD or
4WD HIGH range. The ESC system will be in "ESC On"
mode whenever the vehicle is started or the power
transfer unit (if equipped) is shifted out of 4WD LOW
range. This mode should be used for most driving
situations. ESC should only be turned to "Partial Off" or
"Full Off" for specific reasons as noted. Refer to "Partial
Off" and to "Full Off" for additional information.
Partial Off — Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles And Four-
Wheel Drive Vehicles In 2WD And 4WD High Range
The "Partial Off" mode is intended for driving in deep
snow, sand, or gravel. This mode raises the threshold for
TCS and ESC activation, which allows for more wheel
spin than what ESC normally allows.
