ESP/TCS Indicator Light
The
⬙
ESP/TCS Indicator Light
⬙
located in the
instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the
tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes
active. The
⬙
ESP/TCS Indicator Light
⬙
also
flashes when TCS is active. If the
⬙
ESP/TCS Indicator
Light
⬙
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 2 available operating modes in 2WD,
4WD Part Time, 4WD Full Time, and on 2WD vehicles.
