Esc Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And Esc Off Indicator Light - Jeep COMPASS 2015 Owner's Manual

370 STARTING AND OPERATING
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And
ESC OFF Indicator Light
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light" in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is cycled to the ON/
RUN position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light" comes on continuously with the engine running, a
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.
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" (lo-
cated in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon as
the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active.
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" also
flashes when TCS is active. If the "ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light" begins to flash during ac-
celeration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and
driving to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
• The "ESC Off Indicator Light" and the "ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" come on mo-
mentarily each time the ignition switch is placed in the
ON/RUN position.
• Each time the ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN
position, the ESC system will be ON even if it was
cycled off previously, except for when the vehicle is
started while in 4L Range.
