ESP Operating Modes

The ESP system has three available operating modes for

4WD equipped vehicles and two available operating

modes for 2WD equipped vehicles.

Full On (4WD Models) or On (2WD Models)

This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the

vehicle is started the ESP system will be in this “On”

mode. This mode should be used for most driving

situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” or

“ESP Off” for specific reasons as noted below.

Partial Off (4WD Models) or On (2WD Models)

This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the ESP

OFF switch. When in “Partial Off” mode the “ESP

Indicator Light” will be illuminated. This mode is in-

tended 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 ESP OFF

switch. This will restore the normal “ESP 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 ESP OFF switch. Once the situation

requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is

overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing

the ESP OFF switch. This may be done while the vehicle

is in motion.

Full Off (4WD Models Only)

This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use

when ESP stability features could inhibit vehicle maneu-

verability due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by

depressing and holding the ESP OFF switch for five

seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is

running. After five seconds, the “ESP Indicator Light”
