STARTING AND OPERATING 211 Partial Off The "Partial Off" mode is intended for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also intended for driving in deep snow, sand, or gravel. This mode disables the TCS portion of the ESP and raises the threshold for ESP activation, which allows for more wheel spin than what ESP normally allows. The "ESP OFF" button is located in the switch panel above the radio. To enter the "Partial Off" mode, momentarily depress the "ESP OFF" button and the ЉESP/TCS Indicator LightЉ will illuminate. To turn the ESP on again, momentarily depress the ЉESP OFFЉ button and the ЉESP/TCS Indicator LightЉ will turn off. NOTE: To improve the vehicle's traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting-off in deep snow, sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the "Partial Off" mode by momentarily depressing the "ESP OFF" button. Once the situation requiring "Partial Off" mode is overcome, turn the ESP on again by momentarily depressing the "ESP OFF" button. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. Full Off This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on any public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESP stability features are turned off. To enter the "Full Off" mode, depress and hold the "ESP OFF" button for 5 seconds while the vehicle is stopped with the engine running. After 5 seconds, a chime will sound, the ЉESP/TCS Indicator LightЉ will illuminate, and the ЉESP OFFЉ message will display in the vehicle odometer. Press and release the trip odometer button located on the instrument cluster to clear this message. The "ESP OFF" message may appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in Section 4 of this manual. To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the ЉESP OFF Button.Љ NOTE: The ЉESP OFF,Љ or "ESP System Deactivated" message will display and the audible chime will sound when the gear selector is moved into the PARK position from any position other than PARK and then moved out of the PARK position. This will occur when the message was previously cleared. 5
