2008 Jeep Liberty Owner's Manual - Page 325

STARTING AND OPERATING 325 accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESP system has up to three operating modes: "ESP On" "Partial Off," and "Full Off." ESP On - 2WD Vehicles & 4WD Vehicles in 2WD & 4WD High Range This is the normal operating mode for ESP when operating a 2WD vehicle. It is also the normal mode for operating a 4WD vehicle in 2WD or 4WD high range. The ESP system will be in "ESP On" mode whenever the vehicle is started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted out of 4WD low range. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to "Partial Off" or "Full Off" for specific reasons as noted. Refer to "Partial Off" and to "Full Off" for additional information. WARNING! ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. 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 ESPequipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner, which could jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others. 5
