position, the lamp is lit for about 4 seconds
while the system performs self-diagnosis.
The light comes on for a short period of
time when the ESP

indicates reduced
cohesion between the tires and the road,
and that extra care should be taken by the
driver during continued driving.

the ESP
®
button , whereupon the
light will come on. The car must be trav-
elling slower than 35 mph (60 km/h). The
TCS is also disengaged.

ing, even if it has been switched off manu-
ally with the ESP

following message will be displayed on
the SID:
