SWITCH-ESP
DESCRIPTION
The ESP 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 ESP Off switch turns the Electronic Stability Program off and back on. The ESP has three modes: Full-On, Partial and Full-Off. The ESP default mode is Full-On with every key-on. Pressing the ESP Off switch button in the center stack once activates the Partial mode. In Partial mode, Traction Control is deactivated and ESP operates at a higher threshold, therefore, it will not come on as aggressively as in the Full-On mode. Pressing and holding the ESP 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 “ESP FULL OFF.” The system can be returned to “normal” Full-On mode by briefly pressing and releasing the ESP Off switch. The switch resets itself each time the ignition is cycled.
The ESP Off switch is serviced as part of the accessory switch bank. There are different accessory switch banks available based on the option content of the vehicle. Ensure the accessory switch bank being installed matches the vehicle options.
