6. Push the “ESC Off” button located in the
lower switch bank below the climate con-
trol four times within 20 seconds. The
“ESC Off Indicator Light” should turn on
and turn off two times.
7. Rotate the steering wheel back to center
and then an additional slightly more than
one-half turn to the right.
8. Turn the ignition to the OFF mode and
then back to ON. If the sequence was
completed properly, the “ESC Off Indica-
tor Light” will blink several times to con-
firm HSA is disabled.
9. Repeat these steps if you want to return
this feature to its previous setting.
Traction Control System (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel
spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel
spin is detected, the TCS may apply brake
pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/or re-
duce engine power to provide enhanced ac-
celeration and stability. A feature of the TCS,
Brake Limited Differential (BLD), functions
similar to a limited slip differential and con-
trols the wheel spin across a driven axle. Ifone wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster
than the other, the system will apply the
brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow
more engine torque to be applied to the wheel
that is not spinning. BLD may remain en-
abled even if TCS and ESC are in a reduced
mode.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
This system enhances directional control and
stability of the vehicle under various driving
conditions. The ESC corrects for over/under
steering of the vehicle by applying the brake
of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter-
acting the over/under steer condition. Engine
power may also be reduced to help the ve-
hicle maintain the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine
the vehicle path intended by the driver and
compares it to the actual path of the vehicle.
When the actual path does not match the
intended path, ESC applies the brake of the
appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting
the oversteer or understeer condition.
• Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more
than appropriate for the steering wheel po-
sition.• Understeer - when the vehicle is turning
less than appropriate for the steering wheel
position.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” (located in the instrument cluster),
starts to flash as soon as the tires lose trac-
tion and the ESC system becomes active. The
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions.
WARNING!
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can-
not prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase the traction afforded by prevail-
ing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent
accidents, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns, driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.

WARNING!
hicle stability offered by the ESC system
is reduced.
• Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the "ESC
Partial Off" mode.
ESC Full Off
This mode is entered by pushing and holding
the ESC OFF switch for five seconds.
In the "ESC Full Off" mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are disabled.
Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability of-
fered by ESC is unavailable. In an emergency
evasive maneuver, the ESC system will not
engage to assist in maintaining stability.
“ESC Full Off” mode is intended for off-
highway or off-road use only.When in "ESC Full Off" mode, ESC and TCS,
except for the Brake Limited Differential
(BLD) feature described in the TCS section,
are turned off until the vehicle reaches an
approximate speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). For
speeds at or exceeding approximately
40 mph (64 km/h) the ESC goes into "ESC
Partial Off". When the vehicle speed drops
below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESC system
goes back to "ESC Full Off". To turn ESC on
again, momentarily push the ESC OFFswitch. This will restore normal “ESC On”
mode of operation. The "ESC Off Indicator
Light” will always be illuminated when ESC is
in "ESC Partial Off" and "ESC full Off".
WARNING!
With the ESC in "ESC Full Off" mode, the
engine torque reduction and stability fea-
tures offered by ESC and ERM are dis-
abled. In an emergency evasive maneuver,
the ESC and ERM systems will not engage
to assist in maintaining stability. The "ESC
Full Off" mode is intended for off-road use
only.
4L Range (4WD Models)
ESC Full Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESC in
4L range. Whenever the vehicle is started in
4L range, or the transfer case (if equipped) is
shifted from 4H range or NEUTRAL to 4L
range, the ESC system will be in this mode. In
4L range, ESC and TCS, except for the Brake
Limited Differential (BLD) feature described
in the TCS section, are turned off until the
vehicle reaches an approximate speed of
ESC OFF Switch
73

NOTE:
Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped; however, diffi-
culty may occur due to the mating teeth not
being properly aligned. Several attempts may
be required for clutch teeth alignment and
shift completion to occur. The preferred
method is with the vehicle rolling at 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Avoid attempting to
engage or disengage 4L with the vehicle
moving faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
WARNING!
Failure to engage a transfer case position
completely can cause transfer case dam-
age or loss of power and vehicle control.
You could have a collision. Do not drive the
vehicle unless the transfer case is fully
engaged.
Trac-Lok Rear Axle — If Equipped
The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant
driving force to both rear wheels and reduces
wheel spin caused by the loss of traction at
one driving wheel. If traction differs between
the two rear wheels, the differential auto-
matically proportions the usable torque by
providing more torque to the wheel that has
traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery
driving conditions. With both rear wheels on a
slippery surface, a slight application of the
accelerator will supply maximum traction.
WARNING!
On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip
differential, never run the engine with one
rear wheel off the ground. The vehicle may
drive through the rear wheel remaining on
the ground and cause you to lose control of
your vehicle.
Axle Lock (Tru-Lok) — Rubicon Models
The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the
instrument panel (to the left of the steering
column).
This feature will only activate when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
• Key in ignition, vehicle in 4L (Low) range.
• Vehicle speed should be 10 mph (16 km/h)
or less.
