114 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE maneuver must be performed to permanently disable ESP and defeat the functionality of the ESP switch. Repeating the procedure will return the system to normal ESP operation and restore ESP switch functionality allowing ESP "Partial" or "Off" modes. The following procedure will disable (or re-enable) ESP functionality in the vehicle. 1. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range position. 2. Turn the steering wheel until it is centered and the wheels are pointed straight ahead. 3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON. 4. Wait approximately five seconds for the system bulb check. 5. Turn and hold the steering wheel one-half turn to the right (clockwise). 6. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds. 7. Turn the steering wheel back to center, and turn and hold an additional one-half turn to the left (counterclockwise). 8. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds. WARNING! With ESP in the permanent disable mode, enhanced vehicle stability offered by the ESP and ERM systems is unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. This disabled mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only. Vehicle modifications requiring the owner to configure the vehicle in the ESP disabled mode, will seriously affect the vehicles roadworthiness and safety and may lead to loss of control and/or accident resulting in possible serious or fatal injuries.
