Have you tried holding it down as described in the manual?

Read pages 345-346 in the manual.


All 4WD Vehicles in 4WD AUTO and 4WD LOCK
Modes Can Also Choose the Following ESP
Operating Mode. This is the Only ESP Operating
Mode in 4WD LOW:
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-road use when ESP stability
features could inhibit vehicle maneuverability due to trail
conditions. This mode is entered by depressing and
holding the ESP OFF switch for five seconds when the
vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After five
seconds, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illuminate
and the “ESP Off” message will appear in the odometer.
Press and release the trip odometer button located on the
instrument cluster to clear this message.
NOTE:
The “ESP OFF” message will display and the
audible chime will sound when the gear selector is
placed into the PARK position from any other position
and then moved out of the PARK position. This will
occur even if the message was previously cleared.
In this mode, ESP and TCS except for the “limited slip”
feature described in the TCS section are turned off until
the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At
40 mph (64 km/h) the system returns to “Partial Off”
mode, described above. When the vehicle speed drops
below 35 mph (56 km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is
off at low vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere with
off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the
stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The
“ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will always be illuminated
when ESP is off. To turn ESP on again, momentarily
depress the ESP OFF switch. This will restore the normal
“ESP On” mode of operation.
“ESP Off” is the only operating mode for ESP in 4WD
LOW. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD LOW or
the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD LOCK
or NEUTRAL, to 4WD LOW, the ESP system will be in

this mode.
