WARNING!
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can-
not prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded by prevailing road condi-
tions. The ESC cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery sur-
faces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of an
ESC-equipped vehicle must never be ex-
ploited in a reckless or dangerous manner
which could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.
The ESC system has three available operating
modes in 4H range. The system has one oper-
ating mode in 4L range. Two-wheel drive ve-
hicles and four-wheel drive vehicles in 2H range
have two operating modes.
WARNING!
With the ESC switched off, the enhanced
vehicle stability offered by ESC and ERM are
unavailable. In an emergency evasive ma-
neuver, the ESC and ERM systems will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability. The
“Full Off” ESC mode is intended for off-road
use only.
4H Range (4WD Models) or 2WD Models
On
This is the normal operating mode for ESC in
4H and 2WD vehicles.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing
the ESC OFF switch.
When in
"
Partial Off
"
mode, the TCS portion of
ESC
has
been
disabled
and
the
“ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will be
illuminated.
All other stability features of ESC function nor-
mally. This mode is intended to be used if the
vehicle is in deep snow, sand, or gravel condi-
tions and more wheel spin than ESC would
normally allow is required to gain traction. To
turn ESC on again, momentarily press the ESC
OFF switch. This will restore the normal “ESC
On” mode of operation.
