ESP OFF usage
When driving
• It’s a good idea to keep the ESP
turned on for daily driving whenev-
er possible.
• To turn ESP off while driving, press
the ESP OFF button while driving
on a flat road surface.
Never press ESP OFF button while
ESP is operating (ESP indicator light
blinks).
If ESP is turned off while ESP is
operating, the vehicle may slip out of
control.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• When measuring the vehicle speed
with a Chassis dynamo-meter,
make sure the ESP is turned off
(ESP OFF light illuminated). If the
ESP is left on, it may prevent the
vehicle speed from increasing, and
cause a false diagnosis of a faulty
speedometer.
• Turning the ESP off does not
affect ABS or brake system opera-
tion.
WARNING
Never press the ESP OFF button
while ESP is operating.
If the ESP is turned off while
ESP is operating, the vehicle
may slip out of control.
To turn ESP off while driving,
press the ESP OFF button while
