Full Off — If Equipped
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use
only and should not be used on any public roadways. In
this mode, TCS and ESC features are turned off. To
enter the “Full Off” mode, push and hold the ESC OFF
button for five seconds while the vehicle is stopped with
the engine running. After five seconds, a chime will
sound, the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate, and
the “ESC OFF” message will display in the instrument
cluster. To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the
ESC OFF button.
NOTE:
The system may switch from ESC “Full Off” to “Partial
Off” mode when the vehicle exceeds a predetermined
speed. When the vehicle speed slows below the prede-
termined speed the system will return to ESC “Full Off”.
ESC modes may also be affected by drive modes
(if equipped).
WARNING!
•
In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine torque reduc-
tion and stability features are disabled. Therefore,
enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESC system
is unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver,
the ESC system will not engage to assist in maintain-
ing stability. ESC “Full Off” mode is intended for off-
highway or off-road use only.
•
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot pre-
vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all
accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. ESC also cannot prevent collisions.
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 (kilometers) at speeds
greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diag-
nosed and corrected.
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light starts to
flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC sys-
tem 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 acceleration, 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.
The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates that
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is in a
reduced mode.
NOTE:
•
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light and
the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on momentarily
each time the ignition is placed in the ON position.
•
Each time the ignition is placed in the ON position,
the ESC system will be on even if it was turned off
previously.
•
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.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped
HDC is intended for low speed off-road driving while in
4WD Low. HDC maintains vehicle speed while descend-
ing hills during various driving situations. HDC controls
vehicle speed by actively controlling the brakes.
HDC Has Three States:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate).
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation
conditions are not met, or driver is actively overrid-
ing with brake or throttle application).
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling
vehicle speed).
Enabling HDC
HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch, but the fol-
lowing conditions must also be met to enable HDC:
•
The driveline is in 4WD Low.
•
The vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).
•
The parking brake is released.
•
The driver door is closed.
