WARNING
The Electronic Stability Program
system is only a driving aid; use
precautions for safe driving by
slowing down on curved, snowy, or
icy roads. Drive slowly and don't
attempt to accelerate whenever the
ESP indicator light is blinking, or
when the road surface is slippery.

ESP OFF usage

When driving
• ESP should be turned on for daily driv-
ing whenever possible.
• To turn ESP off while driving, press the
ESP OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
WARNING
Never press the ESP OFF button
while ESP is operating (ESP indica-

If ESP is turned off while ESP is
operating, the vehicle may slip out
of control.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESP is
turned off (ESP OFF light illuminat-
ed). If the ESP is left on, it may pre-
vent the vehicle speed from increas-
ing, and result in false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESP off does not affect
ABS or brake system operation.
