Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
on after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short
distance.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)*
The warning light  comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
Components of the ESP system also include the Traction Control System (TCS),
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), and the Antilock Brake System ABS (ABS).
The warning light comes on when driving when a control cycle is activated.
The warning light will come on and remains on if the ESP is switched off or if there
is a fault in the system.
The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light  comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP
system can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESP system can
be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes
out, the ESP system is fully functional again.
Further information on the ESP ⇒ page 193, "Electronic stability programme
(ESP)*".
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)*
The EDL is a part of the ESP. A fault in the EDL is indicated by the ESP warning light
in the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected without delay by an author-
ised Škoda Service Partner. Further information on the EDL ⇒ page 194, "Electronic
Differential Lock (EDL)*".
Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
on after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short
distance.
