280 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! • ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, 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. The ESP system has 2 available operating modes. 4WD/4WD LOCK or 2WD Models ON This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD LOCK and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD LOW or neutral back to 4WD LOCK, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most all driving situations. ESP should only be turned to "Partial Off" for specific reasons as noted below. This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the "ESP OFF" Control Switch. When in "Partial Off" mode, the engine management portion of ESP has been desensitized, the thresholds for ESP activation are raised, and the "ESP/TCS Indicator Light" will be Partial Off illuminated. This mode is intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand or gravel
