features of ESC function normally. This mode is intended
to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand, or gravel
conditions and more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on
again, momentarily press the "ESC OFF" switch. This
will restore the normal "ESC On" mode of operation.
NOTE: To improve the vehicle's traction when driving
with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand, or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the "Partial Off"
mode by pressing the "ESC OFF" switch. Once the
situation requiring ESC to be switched to the "Partial
Off" mode is overcome, turn ESC back on by momen-
tarily pressing the "ESC OFF" switch. This may be done
while the vehicle is in motion.
