below:
SLIP Indicator Light
52KM133
When one of the ESP
®
systems other than
ABS is activated, the SLIP indicator light in
the instrument cluster blinks 5 times per
second.
NOTE:
When the SLIP indicator light comes on
and stays on while driving, indicating a
malfunction of the ESP
®
systems (other
than ABS), the brake system will function
as an ordinary ABS with no additional
ESP
®
functions.
NOTE:
When you disconnect and re-connect the
battery, ESP
®
system functions other than
ABS will be deactivated and the slip indica-
tor light will blink 1 time per second. In this
case, use the following procedure to re-
activate the ESP
®
systems:
1) Drive your vehicle straight ahead with-
out tire slippage at a speed until the slip
indicator is turned off. (Drive straight for
approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) or
more and 10 seconds or more.)
2) The slip indicator light will go out and
the ESP
®
systems (other than ABS) will
be re-activated.
It may take more than few seconds before
the slip indicator light goes out depending
on the road surface condition.

warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on.

When the “ESP” warning light comes on,
or stays on while driving, indicating a mal-
function of the ESP
®

ABS), the brake system will function as an
ordinary ABS that has no additional ESP
®
functions.
