If the light comes on while driving, pull over immedi-

the nearest authorized dealer.

This light will illuminate green to indicate the vehicle and
Hybrid System are capable of providing “on-demand”

The malfunction lamp for the ESP is combined

and the yellow ESP/TCS indicator light in the

ignition switch is turned to the ON position. They should
go out with the engine running. If the ESP/BAS warning
lamp comes on continuously with the engine running, 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
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE:
The ESP/TCS indicator light and the ESP/BAS
warning lamp come on momentarily each time the igni-

The ESP control system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is actively operating.
26. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

system (OBD II) which monitors the emissions

is ready for emissions testing the light will come on when
the ignition is first turned ON and remain on, as a bulb
check, until the engine is started. If the vehicle is not
ready for emissions testing the light will come on when
