444 STARTING AND OPERATING

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent the

natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle,

nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing

road conditions. ESC cannot prevent accidents, in-

cluding those resulting from excessive speed in

turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro-

planing. ESC also cannot prevent accidents resulting

from loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate

driver input for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive,

and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capa-

bilities 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

ESC Operating Modes

The ESC system has two available operating modes.

This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the

vehicle is started the system will be in this mode. This

mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC

should only be turned to "Partial Off" for specific reasons

as noted. Refer to "Partial Off" for additional information.

The "ESC OFF" button is located in the switch bank

above the climate control. To enter the "Partial Off"

mode, momentarily press the "ESC OFF" button and the

"ESC OFF" Indicator Light will illuminate. To turn the

ESC on again, momentarily press the "ESC OFF" button

and the "ESC OFF" Indicator Light will turn off. This will

restore the normal "ESC On" mode of operation.
