280 STARTING AND OPERATING
ESP/TCS Indicator Light
The "ESP/TCS Indicator Light," located in the instru-
ment cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESP system becomes active. The "ESP/
TCS Indicator Light" also flashes when TCS is active. If
the "ESP/TCS Indicator Light" begins to flash during
acceleration, 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.
WARNING!
• Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions.
• ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a
safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents.
• The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the user's safety
or the safety of others.
