I do not think that's unique to just the ESS versions... I thought the same thing when I bought mine last year - it was the quietest vehicle I've ever owned re: starting.I also noticed from the outside when remote starting that the starter is extremely quiet. Much quieter than any previous vehicle I've had.
How did you manage to turn it off? For the life of me, I can't find the button / switch / method to disable it. Thanks!Oh and I can confirm that each key cycle turns it back on if you turned it off.
It's the button with the A with the circle arrow around it. 4th button from the left in my picture.How did you manage to turn it off? For the life of me, I can't find the button / switch / method to disable it. Thanks!
Are you kidding me? It's been staring me in the face all this time?It's the button with the A with the circle arrow around it. 4th button from the left in my picture.
It's also known as "autostop" hence the "A".Are you kidding me? It's been staring me in the face all this time?
What the heck does an A with a circle arrow have to do with ESS!?
Thanks so much though, I'll go try it now.
How did you determine that? In the owner's manual I have "2017-Pacifica-OM-1st.pdf", there's only a blank for that particular button.It's also known as "autostop" hence the "A".
Yes the current owners manual is the 6th edition. Download it from mopar.com. Try page 337.How did you determine that? In the owner's manual I have "2017-Pacifica-OM-1st.pdf", there's only a blank for that particular button.
Do you have a more recent copy of the owner's manual that includes the ESS "A" button on the switch panel?
Sounds simple in theory, but in reality either the web site is broken or I really have overdone the Nyquil lately. Do you have the pdf filename that I can just Google on?Yes the current owners manual is the 6th edition. Download it from mopar.com. Try page 337.
Go to mopar.com. Click on Care. Click on Owner's Manual. Click Add A Vehicle. Select Chrysler, then 2017, then Pacifica.Sounds simple in theory, but in reality either the web site is broken or I really have overdone the Nyquil lately. Do you have the pdf filename that I can just Google on?
So, the link to the owner's manual showed up as soon as I logged out of the Mopar site. While I was logged in with my account, which also had the 2017 Pacifica added and selected, the owner's manual page talked about downloading the manual but had no link. After logging out and adding the vehicle, which shouldn't be effectively any different than being logged in, the link appeared. Must be a website anomaly. Thanks for humoring me.Go to mopar.com.

That's so true... there is literally nothing written or recorded about the ESS in the Pacifica since Spring 2016 when the Pacifica was introduced/released. I honestly do not think many people know the Pacifica has ESS now outside of this group. My dealer certainly did not until I told them about it, and what quick order package 27J was.If you do a YouTube video you will be the first to cover the Pacifica ESS!
That lag gives you time to look both waysI just took possession yesterday of a new, 8-passenger limited. It does have the ESS option and it is absolutely something I would prefer not to have or at least prefer the ability to disable permanently. My wife doesn't like it either and she's a lot more tolerant of things like that. Is it mostly seamless? Yes. Is it (relatively) quick? Yes. However, even that slight amount of, call it "input lag", on resuming after the engine shuts off at a stop light, is extremely jarring to me. It's hard enough for a minivan drive to feel engaging, but then to add another layer of separation between the driver and the road just makes it worse.
Still looking for the trick to disable it. Foggy brain from Flu-recovery isn't helping.
Wish they made it available to those that ordered the van.Go to mopar.com. Click on Care. Click on Owner's Manual. Click Add A Vehicle. Select Chrysler, then 2017, then Pacifica.
You can call Chrysler and request a hard copy for free.Wish they made it available to those that ordered the van.
I didn't notice much. I'm averaging 17-18 in mixed but I don't drive for economy.Would be curious how much ESS affects city gas mileage. I suppose they would not change the sticker from 18 MPG until it is re-evaluated by the govt.
They already have. Pacificas with ESS are rated at 19 MPG in the city. The highway and combined ratings haven't changed.I suppose they would not change the sticker from 18 MPG until it is re-evaluated by the govt.
Just doesn't seem worth it for 1 MPG in my opinion.They already have. Pacificas with ESS are rated at 19 MPG in the city. The highway and combined ratings haven't changed.I suppose they would not change the sticker from 18 MPG until it is re-evaluated by the govt.
