Switch, Electronic Stability Program (Esp): Description: Description
The ESC Off Switch is part of the accessory switch bank module located in the center bezel on the instrument panel above the transmission gear shifter.
The ESC Off switch turns the Electronic Stability Control off and back on. The ESC has three modes: Full-On, Partial and Full-Off. The ESC default mode is Full-On with every key-on. Pressing the ESC Off switch button in the center stack once activates the Partial mode. In Partial mode, Traction Control is deactivated and ESC operates at a higher threshold, therefore, it will not come on as aggressively as in the Full-On mode. Pressing and holding the ESC button for five seconds or longer turns the system completely off. This condition is confirmed by a single warning chime and a text message in the odometer display "ESC FULL OFF." The system can be returned to "normal" Full-On mode by briefly pressing and releasing the ESC Off switch. The switch resets itself each time the ignition is cycled.
