Light” will turn off. This will restore the
normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
To improve the vehicle’s traction
when driving with snow chains, or when
starting off in deep snow, sand, or gravel,
it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial
Off” mode by momentarily pressing the
“ESC OFF” button. Once the situation re-
quiring “Partial Off” mode is overcome,
turn ESC back on by momentarily press-
ing the “ESC OFF” button. This may be
done while the vehicle is in motion.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light and ESC OFF Indicator Light
The
“ESC
Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” in
the
instrument
cluster
will
come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON po-
sition. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has
been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition
cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds
greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your
authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the problem diagnosed and cor-
rected.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” (located in the instrument cluster)
starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESC system becomes
active. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” also flashes when TCS is
active. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” begins to flash during
acceleration, ease up on the accelerator
and apply as little throttle as possible. Be
sure to adapt your speed and driving to
the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
•
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indi-
cator Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition switch is turned ON.
