OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE "ESP OFF" switch (without hill descent control) When the "ESP OFF" switch located at the center of the instrument panel is pushed and held to turn off the ESP® systems (other than ABS), the "ESP OFF" indicator light in the instrument cluster comes on. When you push and hold the "ESP OFF" switch again, the "ESP OFF" indicator light will go out and all of the ESP® systems will be activated. NOTE: • When the vehicle speed is greater than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph), the ESP® systems (other than ABS) will turn on automatically and the "ESP OFF" indicator light will go out. • When the transfer switch (if equipped) is turned to the "4L LOCK" position, the ESP® systems (other than ABS) will be canceled to provide improved vehicle traction, and the "ESP OFF" indicator light will come on. When the transfer switch (if equipped) is turned to the "4L LOCK" position, braketraction control can be activated. Braketraction control brakes the spinning wheel to distribute drive power to the other wheels for increased climbing ability or for better performance on a rolling hill or a slippery surface. • If the ESP® systems operate continuously, such as when driving on slippery roads, the traction control functions of the ESP® systems may be canceled temporarily to avoid overheating the brake pads, and the "ESP OFF" indicator light will come on. After a short period of time, the ESP® systems (other than ABS) will turn on automatically and the "ESP OFF" indicator light will go out. • If your vehicle is equipped with a hill descent control system and a hill hold control system, these systems will not be turned off when the "ESP OFF" switch is pushed to turn off the ESP® systems.
