Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Switch
The ESP is active by default. This feature helps reduce the risk of accident by providing
traction control and stability control. If ESP senses a loss of stability due to loss of traction
(skidding) the ESP intervenes by automatically applying brakes to one or more wheels and
reducing power to the rear wheel.
WARNING! No stability control, traction control or anti-lock braking system can fully protect you from
every situation. Always be mindful of road conditions. Always drive safely and within the limits of the
driver, vehicle and road conditions.
WARNING! Stability control, traction control and anti-lock braking systems rely on grip between the
tires and the road to function properly. In a hydroplane situation, tires lose contact with the road and the
effectiveness of these features may be diminished.
The electronic stability control system does not compensate for or reduce the risks associated
with:
• excessive speed
• reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces
• poor judgment
• improper operation
• hydroplaning
Under certain circumstances, such as when the vehicle is stuck in a low traction situation, it
may be necessary to disable the ESP temporarily. Always enable the ESP for normal
operation.
WARNING! Operating the vehicle under normal riding conditions with the ESP disabled could result in
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, rollover, personal injury and death.
