NOTE:

When driving with snow chains, or when starting

allow more wheel spin when starting off in snow, mud,

sand, gravel, or when using tire chains. This can be

accomplished by momentarily pressing the “ESC off”

button to enter partial mode “Partial Off” mode. Once the

situation requiring “Partial Off” mode is overcome, turn

ESC back on by momentarily pressing the “ESC Off”

button. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” in the instrument cluster will come on

when the ignition switch is turned to the ON

position. It should go out with the engine

running. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” will flash to indicate the system is actively cor-

recting an undesirable vehicle condition. This includes

Yaw control, traction control, and trailer sway control. If

the lamp remains solid under normal driving conditions,

your vehicle should be serviced at an authorized dealer.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” 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 the Traction Control System (TCS) or trailer

sway is active. If the “ESC Activation/ Malfunction

Indicator Light” begins to flash during acceleration, 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.
