I didn’t see anyone doing donuts. ?Thanks.
What's the (practical) difference between this 'Dyno Mode' and disabling ESP (throttle limiter)?
(I don't consider doing doughnuts in a tall 9000lb van 'practical'.)
Yes, turning off ESP and/or ASR is helpful to stop the ECU from cutting the throttle in sand, etc.I didn’t see anyone doing donuts. ?
Good info. A friend mentioned this very issue to me recently, said once he figured out how to turn esp off, his van (ncv3 4x4) performed much better off road.
Hmm ? I don’t use brakes in sand... unless a worse fate than getting stuck is directly ahead.Yes, turning off ESP and/or ASR is helpful to stop the ECU from cutting the throttle in sand, etc.
But dyno mode also completely disables ABS and all traction and stability control modes.
Disabling ABS could be useful in deep gravel, but in sand it'd probably dig you in more when braking (I know you're not supposed to really use the brakes in sand if possible).
Hi, it might be called ASR.Is there an ESP button somewhere or buried somewhere in the menu’s?
No ASR button either like my 2016 and 2018 have which are next to the hazard light switch.Hi, it might be called ASR.
Here is another Owl video that shows how to disable just ESP if you have the MBUX display.Is there an ESP button somewhere or buried somewhere in the menu’s?

I'll have to check that out. I've not had the throttle cut when stuck in sand etc with the esp off but good to know if i'm in a situation where i need it.Interesting thread. My 2008 seems to have something similar, accessible even using the low-line instrument cluster (without steering wheel buttons), called "roll test" which can be turned on or off.
I haven't tried it out, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind if I end up in a low traction situation where totally disabling these systems could be helpful.
