12. Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

If this indicator light flashes during accelera-
tion, ease up on the accelerator and apply as
little throttle as possible. Adapt your speed and
driving to the prevailing road conditions, and

do not switch off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP).

13. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light
/ Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light

The malfunction light for the Electronic Stabil-
ity Program (ESP) is combined with Brake
Assist System (BAS). The yellow “ESP/BAS
Warning Light” comes on when the ignition

switch is placed in the ON/RUN position. They should
go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warn-
ing Light” comes on continuously with the engine run-
ning, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or
the BAS system. If this light remains on after several
ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several

miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING!

If the warning light remains on, the system may not
be working and you will not have the benefit of ESP
or BAS. You should adjust your speed and stopping
distance to account for this lack of the feature or you
could be in an accident and be seriously injured. You
should take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.

14. Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light indicates low engine oil pressure. The
light should turn on momentarily when the engine

is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A
chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns
on.
