cator illuminates)In the following situations, it may be
better to activate ESC SPORT or
deactivate ESC (ESC OFF):
• When using snow chains
• Driving in deep snow
• Driving in sand or gravel
• Driving on specially designed
roads where oversteering and
understeering characteristics are
desired
We recommend only qualified and
experienced drivers to drive the vehi-
cle with the ESC deactivated or ESC
SPORT activated.
After the above situations are
over, activate ESC immediately.
If not, the vehicle can be unsta-
ble due to vehicle slip or wheel
spin.
CAUTION
•If you deactivate ESC, ESC no
longer stabilizes the vehicle.
There is an increased risk of
skidding and an accident.
•When ESC SPORT mode is
activated, the stability support
from ESC will be less than in
"ESC ON mode", there is a
greater risk of skidding and
an accident.
Only deactivate ESC or activate
ESC SPORT in the situations

ity to a limited degree.
- Traction control is still activated,
but with less wheel control (more
slip).
- Engine torque can partially be
limited for the vehicle's stability

ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud, by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC, to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.To prevent damage to the trans-
mission:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively while
the ESC, ABS, and parking brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) excessive-
ly while these lights are dis-
played.
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or standard brake system opera-
tion.

istic of ESC varies according to
which drive mode is selected by

Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system. It
helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking sud-
denly on wet, slippery and rough
roads where traction over the four
tires can suddenly become uneven.
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
•ALWAYS check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. The VSM is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices.
•Never drive too fast for the
road conditions. The VSM sys-
tem will not prevent acci-
dents. Excessive speed in bad
weather, slippery and uneven
roads can result in severe
accidents.

low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.

The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
The system will be limited due to
the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is
deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
