the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will
illuminate. To turn the ESC on again, momentarily

NOTE: To improve the vehicle's traction when driv-
ing with snow chains, or when starting off in deep
snow, sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to

“ESC OFF” button. Once the situation requiring “Par-
tial Off mode is overcome, turn ESC back on by
momentarily pressing the “ESC OFF” button. This may
be done while the vehicle is in motion.

functionality of ESC, (except for the lim-
ited slip feature described in theTCS section),has

will be illuminated.All other stability features of

mode, the engine power reduction feature ofTCS
is disabled, and the enhanced vehicle stability
offered by the ESC system is reduced.
ESC ACTIVATION/MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT AND ESC OFF
INDICATOR LIGHT
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” comes on continuously with the engine running,
a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If
this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and
the vehicle has been driven several kilometers at
speeds greater than 48 km/h, see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diag-
nosed and corrected.
