WARNING!
•
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions.
•
ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on
slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents.
•
The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety
or the safety of others.
The ESP system has multiple operating modes depend-
ing on vehicle type: Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) or Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD). Four-wheel drive vehicles may be
equipped with either a four-mode position (2WD/4WD
LOCK/4WD LOW/Neutral) transfer case or a five-mode
position (2WD/4WD AUTO/4WD LOCK/4WD LOW/
Neutral) transfer case. If you have a four-wheel drive
vehicle, and want to determine which transfer case is on
your vehicle and how to operate it, refer to the “Four
Wheel Drive Operation” in this section.
All 2WD vehicles and 4WD vehicles in 2WD,
AUTO or 4HI Modes can choose the following ESP
operating modes:
ESP On
This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 2WD/
AUTO/4HI Modes and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the
vehicle is started, or the transfer case (if equipped) is
shifted from 4WD LO or Neutral, back to 4WD LOCK or
