Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP)
The warning/indicator light monitors the electronic stabi­
lization program.
The warning/indicator light has the following functions :
• it flashes while you are driving , when the ESP is working .
• it illuminates when you switch on the ignition for approximately
2 seconds as a function check .
• it illuminates when there is a ma lfunction in the ESP.
• it illuminates after the battery has been disconnected.
• it illuminates continuous ly when the ESP is switched off.
• it illuminates if there is a malfunction in the ABS, since the ESP
is part of the ABS system.
If the ESP warning/indicator light i lluminates and stays on after you
have started the engine , this may mean that the control system has
temporari ly switched off the ESP. If this is case, you can reactivate
the ESP by switching the ignition o ff and then on again. The
warning/indicator light should go out to show that the system is
fully functional again.
If the battery terminals were disconnected and re-connected, the
vehic le was jump started or the battery is very weak, the ESP sensor
system goes through a learning process for the first few yards.
During this time, the indicator light illuminates. It goes out as soon
as the learning process is comp lete .
