This mode should be used for most driving situations.
ESP should only be turned to “Partial ESP” for specific
reasons as noted below.
Partial ESP
This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the
“ESP OFF” switch.
When in “Partial ESP” mode, the TCS portion of ESP has
been disabled, the thresholds for ESP activation are
raised, and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will be illu-
minated. This mode is intended to be used for a more
spirited driving experience, or if the vehicle is in deep
snow, sand, or gravel conditions and more wheel spin
than ESP would normally allow is required.
To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the
“ESP OFF” switch.
WARNING!
In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction
and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the
enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavail-
able.
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 ESP”
mode by pressing the “ESP OFF” switch. Once the
situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial
ESP” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momen-
tarily depressing the “ESP OFF” switch. This may be
done while the vehicle is in motion.
