The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” located in the

instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the

tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes

active. The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” also

flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESP/TCS Indicator

Light” begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the

accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure

to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road

conditions.

WARNING!

The ESP cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The
ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those result-
ing from excessive speed in turns, driving on very
slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities
of an ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner that could jeopar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

The ESP system has two available operating modes:
ESP On
This is the normal operating mode for the ESP. Whenever

the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode.

This mode should be used for most driving situations.

The ESP should only be turned OFF for specific reasons

as noted in the following paragraphs.
