Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) (If Equipped)
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
enhances directional control and sta-
bility of the vehicle under various
driving conditions. ESP corrects for
over-steering and under-steering the
vehicle by applying the brake of the
appropriate wheel. Engine power may
also be reduced to help the vehicle
maintain the desired path.
The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to
determine the path that the driver in-
tends to steer the vehicle and com-
pares it to the actual path of the ve-
hicle. When the actual path does not
match the intended path, the ESP ap-
plies the brake of the appropriate
wheel to assist in counteracting the
condition of over-steering or under-
steering.
• Over-steer - when the vehicle is turn-
ing more than appropriate for the
steering wheel position.
• Under-steer - when the vehicle is
turning less than appropriate for the
steering wheel position.
ESP Indicator Light
The ESP indicator light is lo-
cated in the instrument clus-
ter. The ESP indicator light
will start to flash as soon as
the tires lose traction and the ESP sys-
tem becomes active. If the ESP indica-
tor light begins to flash during accel-
eration, ease up on the accelerator
and apply as little throttle as possible.
Be sure to adapt your speed and driv-
ing to the prevailing road conditions.
WARNING!
ESP cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle,
nor can it increase the traction af-
forded by prevailing road conditions.
ESP cannot prevent accidents, includ-
ing those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can pre-
vent accidents. The capabilities of an
ESP-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the us-
er’s safety or the safety of others.
