Driving your vehicle
The Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) monitors information from var-
ious vehicle sensors and then com-
pares the driver's commands with
the actual behavior of the vehicle. If
an unstable condition occurs - a sud-
den evasive movement for example -
ESP intervenes within fractions of a
second via the engine computer and
brake system and attempts to stabi-
lize the vehicle.
ESP operationESP ON condition
 When the ignition is turnedON, ESP and ESP OFF
indicator lights illuminate
for approximately 3 sec-
onds, then ESP is turned
on.
 Press the ESP button to turn ESP off. (ESP OFF
indicator will illuminate). To
turn the ESP on, press the
ESP button (ESP OFF
indicator light will go off).
 When starting the engine, you may hear a slight tick-
ing sound. This is the ESP
performing an automatic
system self-check and
does not indicate a prob-
lem.
When operating
When the ESP is in opera-
tion, ESP indicator light
blinks.
 When the ElectronicStability Program is oper-
ating properly, you can feel
a slight pulsation in the
vehicle. This is only the
effect of brake control and
indicates nothing unusual.
 When moving out of the mud or slippery road,
pressing the accelerator
pedal may not cause the
engine rpm (revolutions
per minute) to increase.
