ESC Operating Modes
NOTE:
Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESC
syste
m may have multiple operating modes.
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. Whenever
the
vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for most driving conditions. Alter
-
nate ESC modes should only be used for specific reasons as
note
d in the following paragraphs.
Partial Off
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times when a more
s
pir
ited driving experience is desired. This mode may
modify TCS and ESC thresholds for activation, which allows
for more wheel spin than normally allowed. This mode may
be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.
To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily push the “ESC
Off”
switch and the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will illumi-
nate. To turn the ESC on again, momentarily push the “ESC
O
ff”
switch and the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will turn off.
NOTE:
For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes, a momentary
b
utt
on push will toggle the ESC mode. Multiple momentary
button pushed may be required to return to ESC On.
• Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly maintain
your
vehicle, may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle, and may negatively affect the perfor
-
mance of the ESC system. Changes to the steering
syste
m, suspension, braking system, tire type and size
or wheel size may adversely affect ESC performance.
Improperly inflated and unevenly worn tires may also
degrade ESC performance. Any vehicle modification or
poor vehicle maintenance that reduces the effective
-
ness of the ESC system can increase the risk of loss of
ve
hic
le control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death.
