2014 Jeep Wrangler Owner Manual - Page 475

STARTING AND OPERATING 473 When in ESC Off mode, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake Limited Differential (BLD) feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For speeds at or exceeding 40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes into partial off. When the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC system goes back to off. To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch. This will restore normal "ESC On" mode of operation. The ЉESC Off Indicator Light" will always be illuminated when ESC is off and partial off. 4L Range (4WD Models) ESC Off This is the normal operating mode for ESC in 4L range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4L range, or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4H range or NEUTRAL to 4L range, the ESC system will be in this mode. In 4L range, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake Limited Differential (BLD) feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For speeds at or exceeding 40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes into partial off. When the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC system shuts off. The ESC is off at low vehicle speeds in 4L range so that it will not interfere with off-road driving, but the ESC function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The "ESC OFF Indicator Light" will always be illuminated in 4L range when ESC is off. 5 WARNING! With the ESC in ؆Full Off؆ mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features offered by ESC and ERM are disabled. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESC and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. The "Full Off" ESC mode is intended for off-road use only.
