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!
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent acci-
dents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an
ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
The ESP system has 2 available operating modes.
On
This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the
vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode.
This mode should be used for most all driving situations.
ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” for specific
reasons as noted below.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the
⬙ESP Control Switch.⬙ When in “Partial Off⬙ mode, the
TCS portion of ESP, except for the “limited slip” feature
described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the
⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ will be illuminated. All other
stability features of ESP function normally. This mode is
intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand,
or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP
would normally allow is required to gain traction. To
