switch off ESP by pressing the upper half (1) of the ESP
switch. The ESP warning lamp v located in the
speedometer dial, is continuously illuminated.
With the ESP system switched off, the engine torque
reduction feature is cancelled. Therefore, the enhanced

A portion of the ESP system remains active, even with
the switch in the OFF position.
If one drive wheel loses traction and begins to spin, the

traction. The traction control engages at vehicle speeds
up to approximately 24 mph (40 km/h), and switches
off at 50 mph (80 km/h).
