On slippery  road surfaces,  the elec-
tronic  stability program  (ESP)  limits
the drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively, thus helping the car to acceler-
ate. It also  provides sufficient driving
force and steering performance as the
car turns at accelerated speeds.
NOTE:
1)
The ESP mode will automatically
be turned ON after the engine is
turned off and restarted.

a  driving  aid;  all  normal  precau-
tions   for   driving   in   inclement
weather and on  slippery road sur-
faces should be observed.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning
excessively  during  starting  or  while
making accelerated turns on slippery
roads to avoid losing the driving force
of the front wheels.
3) When the engine starts, a click is
heard from the  engine compart-
ment; however,  this is  only the
sound of  traction control  being
checked.
