The Electronic Stability Program (ESP ) is
®
operational as soon as the engine is run-
ning and monitors the vehicle’s traction
(force of adhesive friction between the
tires and the road surface) and handling.
Never switch off the ESP® when you see the
ESP® warning lamp v flashing in the
instrument cluster. In this case, proceed as
follows:
The ESP® cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can
it increase the traction afforded by the exist-
ing road and tire conditions. The ESP®
cannot prevent accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns 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 dan-
gerous manner which could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.

the ESP works to stabilize the vehicle.
The ESP is especially useful while driving

off and on wet or slippery road surfaces.
The ESP also stabilizes the vehicle during

braking and steering maneuvers.
While driving, ease up on the accelera-

Adapt your speed and driving style to
the prevailing road conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid.
The ESP® cannot prevent accidents result-

The ESP warning lamp v in the

instrument cluster comes on when you
switch on the ignition. It goes out when the
engine is running.
