ESC Operating Modes
Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESC
system may have multiple operating modes.
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. Whenever
the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for most driving conditions.
Alternate ESC modes should only be used for specific
reasons as noted in the following paragraphs.
Partial Off
This mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.
This mode may modify TCS and ESC thresholds for
activation, which allows for more wheel spin than normally
allowed.
To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily push the ESC
OFF button, located below the radio. The ESC OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate. To turn the ESC on again,
momentarily push the ESC OFF button and the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will turn off.
NOTE:
When driving with snow chains, or when starting off in
deep snow, sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to allow
more wheel spin. This can be accomplished by momen -
tarily pushing the ESC OFF button to enter “Partial Off”
mode. Once the situation requiring “Partial Off” mode is
overcome, turn ESC back on by momentarily pushing the
ESC OFF button. This may be done while the vehicle is in
motion.
Full Off (Four-Wheel Drive Models Only)
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use when
ESC stability features could inhibit vehicle maneuverability
due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by pushing
and holding the ESC OFF button for five seconds when the
vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After five
seconds, the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate and
the “ESC OFF” message will appear in the instrument
cluster display.
In this mode, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake Limited
Differential (BLD) feature described in the TCS section, are
turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph
(64 km/h). At 40 mph (64 km/h), the system returns to
“Partial Off” mode. TCS remains off. When the vehicle
speed drops below 30 mph (48 km/h), the ESC system
shuts off. ESC is deactivated at low vehicle speeds so that
it will not interfere with off-road driving. However, 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 when ESC is off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the ESC OFF
button. This will restore the “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
The “ESC OFF” message will display and an audible chime
will sound when the gear selector is placed into the PARK
position from any other position, and then moved out of
the PARK position. This will occur even if the message was
previously cleared.
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 is placed in the ON mode. 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 (km) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
WARNING!

When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality 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 “Partial
Off” mode, the engine power reduction feature of
TCS is disabled, and the enhanced vehicle stability
offered by the ESC system is reduced.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when the
ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.
WARNING!
In the "Full Off" mode, the engine torque reduction and
stability features are disabled. In an emergency evasive
maneuver, the ESC system will not engage to assist in
maintaining stability. “Full Off” mode is intended for
off-highway or off-road use only.
