ciently before entering curves.
When the ESP is running, the ESP
indicator in the instrument cluster will
blink.
If you turn the system off by pressing
the ESP switch, the ESP-OFF indica-
tor will come on and stay on. In the
ESP-OFF mode, the SLIP control will
be deactivated. Adjust you driving ac-
cordingly. To turn the system back on,
press the switch again. The ESP-OFF
indicator should go off.

C310A01JM-D
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.

WARNING:
Electronic stability program is only
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.
