Jeep 2011 Liberty - Manual (Page 357)

Malfunction Indicator Light” will illuminate and an “ESC
OFF” message will appear in the odometer. Press and
release the trip odometer button located on the instru-
ment cluster to turn off this message.
In this mode, ESC and TCS are turned off (except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS section) until
the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/k). At
speeds over 40 mph (64 km/k), the system automatically
switches to “Partial Off” mode, described above. When
the vehicle speed returns to less than 35 mph (56 km/h),
the ESC system will return to “Full Off” mode. The “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” is always illu-
minated when ESC is off. To turn ESC on again, momen-
tarily press the “ESC Off” button. This will restore the
normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
• “Full Off” is the only operating mode for ESC in 4WD
LOW range. The ESC system will be in this mode
whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD LOW range or
the transfer case is shifted into 4WD LOW range.
• The “ESC OFF” message will display and a chime will
sound when the shift lever is moved from any position
to the PARK position and then moved out of the PARK
position. This will occur even if the message was
cleared previously.
WARNING!
With the ESC switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In an emer-
gency evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability. “Full Off”
mode is only intended for off-highway or off-road
use.
