ESC Operating Modes

The “ESC Off” switch is located in the center

switch bank, next to the hazard flasher switch.

ESC On

This mode is the normal operating mode for ESC

equipped vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started, the

ESC system will be in this mode. This mode should be

used for most driving situations. ESC should only be

turned off for specific reasons as noted below.
ESC Partial Off

This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the “ESC

Off” switch.

When in the “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. When in the “Partial Off”

mode, ESC will operate without engine torque manage-

ment. 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 normally 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.
