ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving
conditions.
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.
ESC Operating Modes
The ESC system has two available operating modes:
Full On
This is the normal operating mode for ESC.Whenever the vehicle is started the system
will be in this mode.This mode should be used for most driving situations.ESC should
only be turned to “Partial Off ” for specific reasons as noted.
Par t ial Of f
•The “ESC OFF” button is located in the switch bank above the climate control.
To enter the “Partial Off ” mode, momentarily press the “ESC OFF” button and the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will illuminate.To turn the ESC on again,
momentarily press the “ESC OFF” button and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indica-
tor Light” will turn off.This will restore the normal “ESC On” mode of operation.
NOTE:
To improve the vehicle’s traction when
driving with snow chains, or when starting
off in deep snow, sand, or gravel, it may be
desirable to switch to the “Partial Off ”
mode by momentarily pressing the “ESC
OFF” button.Once the situation requiring
“Partial 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.

NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage.Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the
parking brake is applied.If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem problem.
Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous.Part of the brake system
may have failed.It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision.Have
the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illumi-
nate the MIL after engine start.The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles.In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage.We recommend you
do not operate the vehicle.Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
