ESP or BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h),
see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.

NOTE:

• The “ESP Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS Warning

Lamp” come on momentarily each time the ignition
switch is turned ON.

• Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System

will be ON even if it was turned off previously.

• The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking

sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESP activation.

and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no
driver inputs or additional driving skills required.

The MDS system may take some time to return
