When does the warning light switch on or flash ?
• On switching the ignition on, it lights up for about two seconds to carry

switched off.
• It will light up continuously if there is a malfunction in the ESP.
WARNING
• The electronic stabilisation programme (ESP) cannot defy the laws of
physics. This should be kept in mind, particularly on slippery and wet
roads and when towing a trailer.
• Always adapt your driving style to suit the condition of the roads and
the traffic situation. Do not let the extra safety afforded by ESP tempt you
into taking any risks when driving, this can cause accidents.
• Please refer to the corresponding warning notes on ESP in ⇒ page 183,
“Intelligent technology”.
