In this mode, ESC is turned off until the vehicle reaches
a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35 mph (56 km/h) the
system returns to “Partial Off” mode, as described above.
When the vehicle speed drops below 30 mph (48 km/h)
the ESC system shuts off. ESC is deactivated at low
vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere with off-road
driving however, ESC function returns to provide the
stability feature at speeds above 35 mph (56 km/h). The
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will al-
ways be illuminated when ESC is off.
To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the “ESC Off”
switch. This will restore the “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE: The “ESC OFF” message will display and an
audible chime will sound when the shift lever is placed
into the PARK position from any other position, and then
moved out of the PARK position. This will occur even if
the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
With the ESC switched off, the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by ESC is unavailable. In an emer-
gency evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability. “ESC Off”
mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use
only.
