Esc Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And Esc Off Indicator Light - Chrysler 2013 200 Owner's Manual

332 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE: To improve the vehicle's traction when driving
with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the "Partial Off"
mode by pressing the "ESC Off" switch. Once the situa-
tion requiring ESC to be switched to the "Partial Off"
mode is overcome, turn ESC on again by momentarily
pressing the "ESC Off" switch. This may be done while
the vehicle is in motion.
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 turned to the ON
position. It should go out with the engine run-
ning. If the "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light"
comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunc-
tion 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 authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" (located
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 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 con-
ditions.
