ESC Operating Modes
NOTE:
Depending upon model and mode of opera-
tion, the ESC system may have multiple op-
erating modes.ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the
ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started, the
ESC system will be in this mode. This mode
should be used for most driving conditions.
Alternate ESC modes should only be used for
specific reasons as noted in the following
paragraphs.
Partial Off
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times
when a more spirited driving experience is
desired. This mode may modify TCS and ESC
thresholds for activation, which allows for
more wheel spin than normally allowed. This
mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes
stuck.
To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily
push the “ESC Off” switch and the “ESC Off
Indicator Light” will illuminate. To turn the
ESC on again, momentarily push the “ESC
Off” switch and the “ESC Off Indicator Light”
will turn off.NOTE:
When driving with snow chains, or when
starting off in deep snow, sand, or gravel, it
may be desirable to allow more wheel spin.
This can be accomplished by momentarily
pushing the “ESC Off” button to enter partial
mode “Partial Off” mode. Once the situation
requiring “Partial Off” mode is overcome,
turn ESC back on by momentarily pushing
the “ESC Off” button. This may be done
while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING!
• When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS
functionality of ESC, (except for the lim-
ited slip feature described in the TCS
section), has been disabled and the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illumi-
nated. When in “Partial Off” mode, the
engine power reduction feature of TCS is
disabled, and the enhanced vehicle sta-
bility offered by the ESC system is re-
duced.
• Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the “Partial
Off” mode.

SAFETY
80

• Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching
full size spare tire does not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore,
the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in
the spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-
matching full size spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, a chime will
sound and the “TPMS Telltale Light” and
“LOW TIRE PRESSURE” message will
turn on upon the next ignition cycle.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 min-
utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the “TPMS
Telltale Light” will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid.4. For each subsequent ignition cycle, a
chime will sound and the “TPMS Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid.
5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare, the TPMS will
update automatically and the “TPMS Tell-
tale Light” will turn off, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit in any of the four active road
tires. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive
this information.
Premium System — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
messages, which will display in the instru-
ment cluster display.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will illuminate in the in-
strument cluster and a chime will
sound when tire pressure is low in one or
more of the four active road tires. In addition,
the instrument cluster will display a "Tire
SAFETY
94

Low" message and a graphic showing the
pressure values of each tire with the low tire
pressure values highlighted or in a different
color.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres-
sure (those highlighted or in a different color
in the instrument cluster display graphic) to
the vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressures, the system will auto-
matically update, the pressure values in the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will
stop being highlighted or return to their origi-
nal color, and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(30 kPa) above the recommended cold plac-
ard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light off. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.SERVICE TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring 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 instrument cluster
will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage 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 key is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
no longer flash, and the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” 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:
• Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
• Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.• Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching
full size does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the com-
pact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact or non-
matching full size spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, the “TPMS Telltale
Light” will remain on and a chime will
sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a dif-
ferent color or highlighted pressure value.

WARNING!
your spare. Failure to do so could result in
spare tire failure and loss of vehicle con-
trol.
Full Size Spare — If Equipped
The full size spare is for temporary emer-
gency use only. This tire may look like the
originally equipped tire on the front or rear
axle of your vehicle, but it is not. This spare
tire may have limited tread life. When the
tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the
temporary use full size spare tire needs to be
replaced. Since it is not the same as your
original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on
the vehicle at the first opportunity.
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped
The limited use spare tire is for temporary
emergency use only. This tire is identified by
a label located on the limited use spare
wheel. This label contains the driving limita-
tions for this spare. This tire may look like the
original equipped tire on the front or rear axle
of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation ofthis limited use spare tire affects vehicle
handling. Since it is not the same as your
original equipment tire, replace (or repair)
the original equipment tire and reinstall on
the vehicle at the first opportunity.
WARNING!
Limited use spares are for emergency use
only. Installation of this limited use spare
tire affects vehicle handling. With this tire,
do not drive more than the speed listed on
the limited use spare wheel. Keep inflated
to the cold tire inflation pressures listed on
your Tire and Loading Information Placard
located on the driver’s side B-Pillar or the
rear edge of the driver’s side door. Replace
(or repair) the original equipment tire at
the first opportunity and reinstall it on your
vehicle. Failure to do so could result in
loss of vehicle control.
Tire Chains (Traction Devices)
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-
to-body clearance. Follow these recommen-
dations to guard against damage:• Traction device must be of proper size for
the tire, as recommended by the traction
device manufacturer.
• Install on front tires only.
• For a 215/65R16 tire, use of a snow trac-
tion device with a maximum projection of
7 mm beyond the tire profile is recom-
mended.
• No other tire sizes are recommended for
use with a tire chain or traction device.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type
(M+S, Snow) between front and rear axles
can cause unpredictable handling. You
could lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
• Because of restricted traction device
clearance between tires and other sus-
pension components, it is important
that only traction devices in good condi-
