152 SAFETY
ESC Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pushing
the ESC OFF button.
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 button. This will restore the normal
“ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
To improve the vehicle's traction when driving
with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow,
sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to
the “Partial Off” mode by pushing the ESC OFF
button. Once the situation requiring ESC to be
switched to the “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.
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 turned to 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
diagnosed and corrected.
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
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 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.
WARNING!

When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS func -
tionality 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.
