Driving your vehicle
When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, ESC indicator light
blinks.
•
When the Electronic
Stability Control is operating
properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehi-
cle. This is only the effect of
brake control and indicates
nothing unusual.

This is to maintain the sta-
bility and traction of the

cate a problem.
