Track Mode
Track Mode is intended to be used when driving on a
track. This raises the threshold for ESC activation further
than Sport and also has track tuned TCS to improve
vehicle performance while on a road course type track.
NOTE:
•To enter Sport ESC mode momentarily press the#ESC
Off#switch, or use the buttons on the Drive modes
pages in the radio. Pressing the#ESC off#switch again
with cycle through to Track ESC mode. Pressing the
#ESC off#button a third time will bring ESC back to
Street Mode.
•To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with
snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow, sand,
or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Sport
Mode” by momentarily pressing the “ESC Off” switch.
Once the situation requiring “Sport Mode” is over-
come, turn the ESC ON again by momentarily pressing
the “ESC Off” switch. This may be done while the
vehicle is in motion.
WARNING!
When in “Sport/Track” mode, the TCS portion of
ESC, except for the limited wheel spin feature de-
scribed in the TCS section, has been disabled and the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illuminated. When
in “Sport/Track” mode, the enhanced vehicle stabil-
ity offered by the ESC system is reduced.
412 STARTING AND OPERATING

Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use
only and should not be used on any public roadways. In
this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned
OFF. To enter the “Full Off” mode, press and hold the
“ESC Off” switch for five seconds while the vehicle is
stopped with the engine running. After five seconds, a
chime will sound, the#ESC OFF Indicator Light#will
illuminate, and the “ESC off” message will appear in the
Driver Information Display (DID). Refer to “Driver In-
formation Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further information. To turn ESC ON
again, momentarily press the “ESC Off” switch.
NOTE:The#ESC off#message will display and the
audible chime will sound when the shift lever is moved
into the PARK position from any position other than
PARK and then moved out of the PARK position. This
will occur when the message was previously cleared.
WARNING!
In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are disabled. There-
fore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESC is
unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the
ESC system will not engage to assist in maintaining
stability.$ESC Off$mode is intended for off-highway
or off-road use only.
NOTE:When the ESC is switched SPORT, the BLD system
remains active. This feature controls wheel spin across an
axle quite similarly to a limited slip differential. If one
wheel on an axle is spinning faster than the other, the
system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel and
allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is
not spinning. To improve the vehicle’s traction when
driving with tire chains, or when starting off in deep snow,
sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Sport
Mode” by momentarily pressing the “ESC Off” switch.

original color, and the “TPM Telltale Light” will turn off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive
this information.
Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the “TPM Telltale Light” will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
The system fault will also sound a chime. In addition, the
DID will display a#SERVICE TPM SYSTEM#message for
a minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (- -)
in place of the pressure value to indicate which sensor is
not being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the “TPM Telltale Light” will no longer
flash, and the#SERVICE TPM SYSTEM#message will no
longer display, and a pressure value will display in place
of the dashes. A system fault can occur due to any of the
following:
1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as
the TPM sensors.
2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains
materials that may block radio wave signals.
3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
The DID will also display a#SERVICE TPM SYSTEM#
message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the#SERVICE TPM SYSTEM#
