When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, this light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working.
When the “ESP OFF” switch is pushed to
turn off the ESP
®
systems (other than
ABS), the “ESP OFF” light comes on and
stays on.
NOTE:
• If the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 30 km/h (19 mph), the
ESP
®

on automatically and the light will go out.
• When the transfer switch (if equipped) is
turned to the “4L LOCK” position, the
ESP
®
systems (other than ABS) will be
canceled automatically. The light will
come on and stay on.
• If the ESP
®
systems operate continu-
ously such as when driving on slippery
roads, the traction control functions of
the ESP
®
systems may be canceled
temporarily to avoid overheating the
brake pads, and the light will come on.
After a short period of time, the ESP
®
systems (other than ABS) will turn on
automatically and the light will go out.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a hill
descent control system and a hill hold
control system, these systems will not be
turned off when the “ESP OFF” switch is
pushed to turn off the ESP
®
