Holden VF Ute Owner Manual (Holden-Localizing-Holden-6070613) - 2014 -
1st Edition - 4/3/13
Driving and Operating 9-19
To disable both traction control and
ESC, press and hold the button for
5 seconds.
When the ESC system is turned off,
the
i light and the g warning light
will both be on to warn the driver
that both traction control and ESC
are disabled.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow,
and you want to “rock” the vehicle to
attempt to free it. It may also be
necessary to turn off the system
when driving in extreme off-road
conditions where high wheel spin is
required.
ESC may also turn off automatically
if it determines that a problem exists
with the system. The appropriate
messages and the
d light will be on
solid to warn the driver that ESC is
disabled and requires service. If the
problem does not clear after
restarting the vehicle, see your
dealer for service. See Ride Control
System Messages on page 5-28.

Warning
Competitive Driving Mode and
Launch Control are systems
designed for a closed course race
track and not intended for use on
public roads. The systems are not
intended to compensate for lack
of driver experience or familiarity
with the race track.
Competitive Driving Mode and
Launch Control modify the
performance of certain safety
features and should only be used,
with caution, in closed conditions.
Drivers who prefer to allow the
system to have more control of the
engine and brake systems are
advised to turn the normal TCS and
ESC systems on.
{
Caution
Do not attempt to shift gear when
the drive wheels are spinning and
do not have traction. This may
cause damage to the
transmission. Damage caused by
racing or misuse of the vehicle
may not be covered by the New
Vehicle Voluntary Warranty.
Note: Racing or misuse will
contribute to the premature wear
of brakes, tyres and driveline
components.
Competitive Driving Mode controls
engine power while the ESC system
helps maintain directional control of
the vehicle by selective brake
application. In this mode, TCS is
optimised and Launch Control is
available. Adjust your driving style
