Jeep 2013 Wrangler - Owner Manual - Manual (Page 472)

All other stability features of ESC 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 ESC would normally allow is required to gain
traction. To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
ESC OFF switch. This will restore the normal “ESC On”
mode of operation.
NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving
with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand, or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off”
mode by pressing the ESC OFF switch. Once the situation
requiring ESC to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is
overcome, turn ESC back on by momentarily pressing the
ESC OFF switch. This may be done while the vehicle is in
motion.
When in ESC Off mode, ESC and TCS, except for the
“limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are
turned off. To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
ESC OFF switch. This will restore normal “ESC On”
mode of operation.
WARNING!
With the ESC in ؆Full Off؆ mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features offered by ESC and
ERM are disabled. In an emergency evasive maneu-
ver, the ESC and ERM systems will not engage to
assist in maintaining stability. The “Full Off” ESC
mode is intended for off-road use only.
