Full On
This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the
vehicle is started the system will be in this mode. This
mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP
should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific reasons
as noted. Refer to “Partial Off” for additional informa-
tion.
Partial Off
The ESP OFF button is located in the switch bank above
the climate Control. To enter the “Partial Off” mode,
momentarily press the ESP OFF button and the ESP/TCS
Indicator Light will illuminate. To turn the ESP on again,
momentarily press the ESP OFF button and the ESP/TCS
Indicator Light will turn off. This will restore the normal
“ESP On” mode of operation.
NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving
with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow,
sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the
“Partial Off” mode by momentarily pressing the ESP OFF
button. Once the situation requiring “Partial Off” mode is
overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily pressing the
ESP OFF button. This may be done while the vehicle is in
motion.
