ESC Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pushing the “ESC
Off” switch.
When in the “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion of ESC,
except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS
section, has been disabled and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” will be illuminated. When in the “Partial Off” mode,
ESC will operate without engine torque management. This
mode is intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow,
sand or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESC
would normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn
ESC on again, momentarily push the “ESC Off” switch.
This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
