“ESC Full Off” is the only operating mode for
ESC in 4WD LOW. Whenever the vehicle is
started in 4WD LOW or the transfer case (if
equipped) is shifted from 4WD LOCK or NEU-
TRAL, to 4WD LOW, the ESC system will be in
this mode.
WARNING!
In the
"
ESC Full Off
"
mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features are
disabled. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In an
emergency evasive maneuver the ESC sys-
tem will not engage to assist in maintaining
stability. “ESC Full Off” mode is intended for
off-highway or off-road use only.
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light And ESC OFF Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction In-
dicator Light” in the instrument clus-
ter will come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. It
should go out with the engine run-
ning.
If
the
“ESC
Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously 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 corrected.
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 accelera-
tion, 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 Indica-
tor Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition switch is turned ON.
•
Each time the ignition is turned ON, the
ESC system will be ON even if it was
turned off previously. Except for when the
vehicle is started while in 4WD Low
Range.
•
The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” in-
dicates
the
Electronic
Stability
Control (ESC) is in
"
ESC Partial
Off
"
or
"
ESC Full Off
"
