Shifting into reverse (R) disables the system.
Note:   With electronic stability control off, E-AWD protection controls remain active and could be noticeable in slippery conditions.
Note:   While stability control can be turned off in any drive mode, the acceleration response in engage mode provides the most refined longitudinal control of the vehicle.
Note:   When you choose the drive mode Unbridled and electronic stability control is off, it reduces the level of deceleration.
