The ESP/TCS button is
located on the instrument
panel.
The Traction Control System (TCS) can be turned off or
back on by pressing the ESP/TCS button. To disable
both traction control and ESP, press and hold the button
briefly.
When the ESP system is turned off, the ESP/TCS
warning light will be on solid to warn the driver that
both traction control and ESP are disabled.
It is recommended to leave the system on for normal
driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn
the system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
ice or snow, and you want to “rock” your vehicle
to attempt to free it.
ESP may also turn off automatically if it determines
that a problem exists with the system. The ESP/TCS
warning light will be on solid to warn the driver that ESP
is disabled and requires service. If the problem does
not clear itself after restarting the vehicle, you should
see your dealer/retailer for service.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the system
begins to assist the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle, the ESP/TCS light will flash and the
cruise control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to use cruise again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. See Cruise Control on
page 3-11.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect
your vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and
Modifications on page 5-3 for more information.
