In this mode, ESC and TCS, except for the “limited slip”
feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until
the vehicle reaches a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At
35 mph (56 km/h) the system returns to “Partial Off”
mode, as described above. TCS remains off. When the
vehicle speed drops below 30 mph (48 km/h) the ESC
system shuts off. ESC is deactivated at low vehicle speeds
so that it will not interfere with off-road driving however,

speeds above 35 mph (56 km/h). The ЉESC OFF Indicator
LightЉ will always be illuminated when ESC is off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC Off”
switch. This will restore the “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the shift lever is placed
into the PARK position from any other position, and then
moved out of the PARK position. This will occur even if
the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
With the ESC in the ؆Full Off؆ mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features are disabled.
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.
