trol (ESC) is off.

be lit any time the Traction modes is set to Sport, Track,

when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the
vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at
speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your autho-
rized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will come
on momentarily each time the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position.
•Each time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position, the ESC system will be ON, even if it was
turned off previously.
•The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESC activation.
