OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

The ESP
®
indicator lights are described
below:
ESP
®
warning light
52KM133
This light blinks 5 times per second when
one of the following systems is activated.
• Stability control system
• Traction control system
• Hill descent control system
If this light blinks, drive carefully.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position, this light comes on briefly so you
can check that the light is working.
NOTE:
When the ESP
®
warning light comes on
and stays on while driving, indicating a
malfunction of the ESP
®
systems (other
than ABS), the brake system will function
as an ordinary ABS with no additional
ESP
®
functions.
ESP
®
OFF indicator light
57L30045
You should turn the ESP
®
on during your
ordinary driving, so that you have the ben-
efits of all of the ESP
®
systems.
It may be required to turn the ESP
®
sys-
tems (other than ABS) off if your vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, or snow, where wheel
spin is necessary.
NOTE:
• When the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 30 km/h (19 mph), the
ESP
®
systems (other than ABS) will turn
on automatically and the ESP
®
OFF
indicator light will go out.
• When the transfer gear is in “4L” (4-
wheel drive low range) position, the
ESP
®
systems (other than ABS) will be
canceled to provide improved vehicle
traction, and the ESP
®
OFF indicator
light will come on.
When the transfer gear is in “4L” (4-
wheel drive low range) position, braket-
raction control can be activated. Braket-
raction control brakes the spinning
wheel to distribute drive power to the
other wheels for increased climbing abil-
ity or for better performance on a rolling
hill or a slippery surface.
NOTICE
If the ESP
®
warning light comes on
and stays on while driving, there may
be a malfunction of the ESP
®
sys-
tems (other than ABS). You should
have the systems inspected by a
SUZUKI dealer.
