don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
a loss of vehicle control, that may
lead to an accident, severe personal
injury, and death. The driver’s primary
responsibility is in the safe and legal
operation of a vehicle, and use of any
handheld devices, other equipment,
or vehicle systems which take the
driver’s eyes, attention and focus
away from the safe operation of a
vehicle or which are not permissible
by law should never be used during
operation of the vehicle.

minate when the ESP indicator comes on
to indicate that the ESP is not working
