WARNING!
When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion of ESC,
except for the limited wheel slip feature described in
the TCS section, has been disabled. All other stabil-
ity features of ESC function normally. When in
“Partial Off” mode, the enhanced vehicle stability
offered by the ESC system is reduced.

“ESC Off” switch for five seconds while the vehicle is
stopped with the engine running. After five seconds, a
chime will sound, the “ESC Activation/Malfunction In-
dicator Light” will illuminate, and the
ЉESC OFFЉ mes-
sage will display in the vehicle odometer. Press and
release the TRIP ODOMETER button located on the
instrument cluster to clear this message. The “ESC OFF”

momentarily press the “ESC Off” switch.
NOTE: The ЉESC OFFЉ message will display and the
audible chime will sound when the shift lever is moved
into the PARK position from any position other than
PARK and then moved out of the PARK position. This
will occur when the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are cancelled. There-
fore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESC is
unavailable.
