WARNING!
ESC also cannot prevent accidents result-
ing from loss of vehicle control due to
inappropriate driver input for the condi-
tions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents. The capabili-
ties of an ESC equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner which could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.
• Vehicle modifications, or failure to prop-
erly maintain your vehicle, may change
the handling characteristics of your ve-
hicle, and may negatively affect the per-
formance of the ESC system. Changes to
the steering system, suspension, brak-
ing system, tire type and size or wheel
size may adversely affect ESC perfor-
mance. Improperly inflated and un-
evenly worn tires may also degrade ESC
performance. Any vehicle modification
or poor vehicle maintenance that re-
duces the effectiveness of the ESC sys-
tem can increase the risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, per-
sonal injury and death.
The ESC system has three available operating
modes in 4H range. The system has one
operating mode in 4L range. Two-wheel drive
vehicles and four-wheel drive vehicles in 2H
range have two operating modes.
4H Range (4WD Models)
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for ESC in
4H range.
ESC Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pushing
the ESC OFF switch. When in "ESC Partial
Off" mode, the TCS portion of ESC (except for
the limited slip feature described in the TCS
section), has been disabled and the "ESC Off
Indicator Light" will be illuminated.
This mode is intended to be used if the
vehicle is in deep snow, sand, or gravel con-
ditions and more wheel spin than ESC would
normally allow is required to gain traction. To
turn ESC on again, momentarily push 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 "ESC Partial Off" mode by
pushing the ESC OFF switch. Once the situ-
ation requiring ESC to be switched to the
"ESC Partial Off" mode is overcome, turn ESC
back on by momentarily pushing the ESC
OFF switch. This may be done while the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING!
• When in "ESC Partial Off" mode, the TCS
functionality of ESC, (except for the lim-
ited slip feature described in the TCS
section), has been disabled and the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illumi-
nated. When in "ESC Partial Off" mode,
the engine power reduction feature of
TCS is disabled, and the enhanced ve-
hicle stability offered by the ESC system
is reduced.
• Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the "ESC
Partial Off" mode.
