ESC Operating Modes
The ESC system has two available operating modes.
Full On

This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever

the vehicle is started the system will be in this mode. This

mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC

should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific reasons

as noted. Refer to “Partial Off” for additional informa-

tion.
Partial Off

The “ESC Off” button is located in the switch bank above

the climate control. To enter the “Partial Off” mode,

momentarily press the “ESC Off” button and the “ESC

Off Indicator Light” will illuminate. To turn the ESC on

again, momentarily press the “ESC Off” button and the

“ESC Off Indicator Light” will turn off. This will restore

the normal “ESC On” mode of operation.

WARNING!

When in ؆Partial Off؆ mode, the TCS functionality

of ESC, (except for the limited slip feature de-
scribed in the TCS section), has been disabled and
the
؆ESC Off Indicator Light؆ will be illuminated.
When in
؆Partial Off؆ mode, the engine power
reduction feature of TCS is disabled, and the
enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESC sys-
tem is reduced.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when the

ESC system is in the ؆Partial Off؆ mode.
