Dodge 2006 LX Charger SRT8 Automobile User Manual


 
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use
only and should not be used on any public roadways.
This mode is entered by depressing and holding the
“ESP Control Switch” for 5 seconds when the vehicle
is stopped and the engine is running. In this mode, all
ESP and TCS stability features are turned off. After 5
seconds, a chime will sound, the ЉESP/TCS Indicator
LightЉ will illuminate, and the ЉESP OFFЉ message will
appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual. To turn ESP on
again, momentarily depress the ЉESP Control SwitchЉ.
This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of
operation.
NOTE:
The ЉESPOFFЉ, or “ESP System Deactivated”
message if equipped will display and the audible
chime will resound when the gear selector is placed into
the PARK position from any position other than PARK,
and then moved out of the PARK position. This will
occur even if the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESP is unavailable. In an emer-
gency evasive maneuver, the ESP system will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability. The “Full
Off” ESP mode is intended for off-highway or off-
road use only.
ESP/BAS Warning Lamp and ESP/TCS Indicator
Light
The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is
combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow
“ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the yellow
“ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine
running.
