146 STARTING AND OPERATING With the ABS malfunctioning, the BAS and ESP will be disabled. In this condition, both malfunction indicator lights come on while the engine is running. If the malfunction indicator light stays illuminated, have the BAS and ESP checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) The ESP enhances directional control and reduces wheelspin under various driving conditions. When ESP is active, engine torque is limited and the ESP warning light starts to flash. In winter operation, the effectiveness of the ESP can be enhanced by equipping the vehicle with DaimlerChrysler recommended mud and snow (M+S) rated radial-ply tires and/or snow chains. WARNING! ESP cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. The ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, 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 jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others. The ESP warning light starts to flash at any vehicle speed as soon as the tires lose traction and the wheels begin to spin.
