ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

of the appropriate wheel. Engine power may also be reduced to assist in counteracting
the condition of oversteer or understeer and help the vehicle maintain the desired path.
•InfullonmodeESCutilizessensorsinthevehicletodeterminethepaththatthedriver
intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the
actual path does not match the intended path, the ESC applies the brake of the
appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Operating Modes
The ESC system may have five available operating modes:
ESC On
•ThisisthenormaloperatingmodefortheESCsystem.Wheneverthevehicleisstarted,
the ESC system will be in this mode. The ESC On mode should be used for most driving
situations. The ESC should only be turned OFF for specific reasons as noted in the
following paragraphs.

•TheESCOffmodeisintendedforoff-highwayoroff-roaduseonlyandshouldnotbeused on any public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features areturned OFF. To enter the “Full Off” mode, push and hold the “ESC Off” switch for fiveseconds while the vehicle is stopped with the engine running. After five seconds, achime will sound, the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will illuminate, andthe “ESC OFF” message will display in the vehicle cluster (left of the odometer). The“ESC OFF” message may appear in the Driver Information Display (DID). To turn ESCON again, momentarily push the “ESC Off” switch.

Rain Mode
•Rainmodeoffersincreasedtractioncontrolandstabilitycontrolforlowtraction
conditions such as wet roads, dry roads during cold temperatures, or when the driver
wants enhanced stability due to lack of familiarity or experience with the vehicle’s
response. To enter the “Rain Mode” mode, push the “ESC” switch three times. The
“ESC RAIN” light will illuminate, and the “ESC RAIN” message will display in the
vehicle cluster (left of the odometer).
NOTE:
Some models may not offer “Sport” or “Track” Mode.
WARNING!
The Electronic Stability Control System (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate driver input
for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
