High Range (4WD Models) or 2WD Models

On
This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD high
range and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is
started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from
4WD low range or neutral back to 4WD high range, the
ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be
used for most all driving situations. ESP should only be
turned to “Partial Off” or “Full Off” for specific reasons
as noted below.

Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the

ЉESP Control SwitchЉ. When in ЉPartial OffЉ mode, the
TCS portion of ESP, except for the “limited slip” feature
described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the

ЉESP/TCS Indicator LightЉ will be illuminated. All other
stability features of ESP function normally. This mode is
intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand,

or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP
would normally allow is required to gain traction. To
turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the

ЉESP Control

Switch

Љ. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of

operation.
