The

ЉESP/TCS Indicator LightЉ located in the instrument

cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and
the ESP system becomes active. The

ЉESP/TCS Indicator

Light

Љ also flashes when TCS is active. If the ЉESP/TCS

Indicator Light

Љ begins to flash during acceleration, ease

up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as
possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions.

WARNING!

ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent acci-
dents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an
ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

The ESP system has 3 available operating modes in 4WD
High Range and in 2WD vehicles. The system has 2
operating modes in 4WD Low Range.
