In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine torque reduction
and stability features are disabled. Therefore, the en-
hanced vehicle stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In
an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability. “ESC Off” mode
is intended for off-highway or off-road use only.
When in ESC Off mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
Brake Limited Differential (BLD) feature described in the
TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a
speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For speeds at or exceeding
40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes into partial off. When the
vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC
system goes back to off. To turn ESC on again, momen-
tarily press the ESC OFF switch. This will restore normal
“ESC On” mode of operation. The
ЉESC Off Indicator
Light” will always be illuminated when ESC is off and
partial off.
WARNING!
With the ESC in
؆Full Off؆ mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features offered by ESC and
ERM are disabled. In an emergency evasive maneu-
ver, the ESC and ERM systems will not engage to
assist in maintaining stability. The “Full Off” ESC
mode is intended for off-road use only.
