Stability/Traction Control Switch

The traction control switch provides the driver with the ability to turn the traction control system off, as well as the ESC  system. It also allows the driver to select different modes of the ESC  system, such as Sport mode. When the switch is pressed, the sliding car icon in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) will illuminate steadily, indicating that the traction control system is off. The different modes of the ESC  system can only be selected by starting with the stability/traction control system on. For example, Sport mode cannot be enabled when the system has been turned off. Sport mode can be turned on by pressing the switch twice within one-half second with the brakes applied and 0% throttle. Traction control and ESC  can be deactivated by pressing and holding the traction control switch for at least 5 seconds with the brake applied and the vehicle at a standstill. Pressing the switch once from any of the above-mentioned modes will re-enable normal ESC  and traction control operation. The conventional ABS cannot be disabled through the use of the stability/traction control switch.
