WARNING! (Continued)

•

ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on

very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a

safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent

accidents.

•

The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous

manner, which could jeopardize the user’s safety

or the safety of others.

ESP Operating Modes

All ESP equipped vehicles can choose the following ESP

operating modes:

ESP On

This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the

vehicle is started the ESP system will be in this mode.

This mode should be used for almost all driving situa-

tions. ESP should only be turned to Partial Off for specific

reasons as noted below.

Partial ESP Mode

This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the ESP

Control Switch. When in Partial Off mode, the TCS

portion of ESP, except for the limited slip feature de-

scribed in the TCS section, has been disabled and the

ESP/TCS Indicator Light will be illuminated. All other

stability features of ESP function normally, with the

exception of engine power reduction. 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 ESP

Control Switch. This will restore the normal ESP On

mode of operation.
