Indicator light
When ignition switch is turned to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, then goes off if
the ESP system is operating normally.
If ESP is turned off while ESP is
operating, the vehicle may slip out
of control.
The ESP indicator light blinks whenever
ESP is operating or illuminates when
ESP fails to operate.

NOTICE
ESP OFF indicator light comes on when
the ESP is turned off with the button.
�
When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESP is
turned off (ESP OFF light illuminat-

vent the vehicle speed from increas-
ing, and result in false diagnosis.
Turning the ESP off does not affect
ABS or brake system operation.
CAUTION
Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the ESP system to
malfunction. When replacing tires,
make sure they are the same size as
your original tires.
