Stopping ESP Function with ESP OFF
Switch*
If the driving wheels are slipping on the
snowy or icy road, the engine rpm may not
be increased even when you depress the
accelerator pedal, and accordingly, you may
not start off your vehicle. In this case, stop
the ESP function by pressing the ESP OFF
switch. When the ESP switch is pressed,
the ESP function stops and the vehicle is
driven independently from the sensor
outputs.
Driving Impression when ESP is Working
The ESP system may transfer noise and vi-
bration to the driver due to the pressure
changes caused by the motor and valve
operations in a very short period of time.
Extreme cornering will trigger the ESP op-
eration and this will make the driver feel
noise and vibration due to strong braking
operation. Also, the ESP system controls the
engine output. So, the driver may notice the
engine output decrease even when the ac-
celerator pedal is being depressed.
ESP & ABS*
The ESP system is activated unless you
press the ESP OFF switch. However, the
ABS system operates only when the tyres
are slipping on the road surface due to sud-
den braking. Basically, the ESP system is
advanced vehicle control system that inte-
grates the ABS system and vehicle stability
control system.
STARTING AND OPERATING 2–19
CAUTION
• The ESP system deactivates when
stopping the engine. It will be re-
sumed when the engine is started
again.
• If the vehicle is controlled by ESP
during driving, the ESP OFF
switch will not work.
• The ESP system does not operate
during reverse driving.
• If the ESP function operates while
driving, the indicator lamp flick-
ers and the alarm sounds.
