- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experi-
ence reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your ve-
hicle may require towing.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
• This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch. This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also intended for driving
in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
switch again. This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, ex-
cept for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section. To enter the “Full Off”
mode, depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds. After five seconds, the
ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message will display in the
EVIC. To turn ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will
come on for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. 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, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
• ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.
