NOTE:

When the ESC is switched SPORT, the BLD

system remains active. This feature controls wheel spin

across an axle quite similarly to a limited slip differential.

If one wheel on an axle is spinning faster than the other,

the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel

and allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel

that is not spinning. To improve the vehicle’s traction

when driving with tire chains, or when starting off in

deep snow, sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch

to the “Sport Mode” by momentarily pressing the “ESC

Off” switch.

ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And
ESC OFF Indicator Light

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” in the instrument cluster will come on

when the ignition switch is cycled to the ON/

RUN position. It should go out with the engine

running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a

malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this

light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the

vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at

speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your autho-

rized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem

diagnosed and corrected.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” (lo-

cated in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon as

the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active.

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” also

flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESC Activation/

Malfunction Indicator Light” begins to flash during ac-

celeration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little

throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and

driving to the prevailing road conditions.
