Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) — Full Off
4H Range
ESC Full Off
This mode is entered by pushing and holding
the ESC OFF switch for five seconds.
In the "ESC Full Off" mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are disabled.
Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability of-
fered by ESC is unavailable. In an emergency
evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability. “ESC
Full Off” mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only.
When in "ESC Full Off" mode, ESC and TCS,
except for the Brake Limited Differential (BLD)
are turned off until the vehicle reaches an
approximate speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For
speeds at or exceeding approximately 40 mph
(64 km/h) the ESC goes into "ESC Partial Off".
When the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph
(56 km/h), the ESC system goes back to "ESC
Full Off". To turn ESC on again, momentarily
push the ESC OFF switch. This will restore nor-
mal “ESC On” mode of operation. The "ESC Off
Indicator Light” will always be illuminated when
ESC is in "ESC Partial Off" and "ESC full Off".
4L Range
ESC Full Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESC in 4L
range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4L
range, or the transfer case (if equipped) is
shifted from 4H range or NEUTRAL to 4L
range, the ESC system will be in this mode. In
4L range, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake
Limited Differential (BLD) are turned off until
the vehicle reaches an approximate speed of
40 mph (64 km/h). For speeds at or exceeding
approximately 40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes
into "ESC Partial Off" When the vehicle speed
drops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC sys-
tem goes back to "ESC Full Off". The ESC is in
"ESC Full Off" at low vehicle speeds in 4L range
so that it will not interfere with off-road driving,
but the ESC function returns to provide the
stability feature at speeds above 40 mph
(64 km/h). The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” will
always be illuminated in 4L range when ESC is
in "ESC Full Off" or "ESC Partial Off".
