overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing
the ESP OFF switch. This may be done while the vehicle

when ESP stability features could inhibit vehicle maneu-
verability due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by

seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is
running. In this mode, all ESP and TCS stability features
are turned off except for the “limited slip” feature de-

and the “ESP OFF
Љ message will appear in the odometer.
