STARTING AND OPERATING 147 If the ESP warning light flashes during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, adapt your speed to the prevailing road conditions. NOTE: If the ESP warning light flashes during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator. NOTE: ESP should not be switched off during normal driving. Disabling of the system under normal operating conditions will eliminate the benefits of the ESP system. Synchronizing ESP If the power supply was interrupted (battery disconnected or discharged), the BAS/ESP malfunction indicator light may be illuminated with the engine running. To re-synchronize the ESP, and cancel the malfunction indicator light, the steering angle sensor will need to be recalibrated. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. CAUTION! If the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised (see the What To Do In Emergencies section in this manual), the engine must be shut off (key in the ignition switch turned to the OFF/LOCK or ACC position). Otherwise, the ESP will immediately be engaged and will apply the rear wheel brakes. NOTE: When the ESP warning light is illuminated continuously, the ESP is switched off. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. NOTE: Avoid spinning of one drive wheel. This may cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is not covered by the DaimlerChrysler Limited Warranty. 5 2. Rotate the steering wheel to the center position. 3. Rotate the steering wheel completely to the left, and then rotate the steering wheel completely to the right. 4. Bring the steering wheel back to the center position. 5. The BAS/ESP malfunction indicator light will go out.

ing road conditions.

NOTE:
When the ESP warning light is illuminated
continuously, the ESP is switched off. Adapt your speed
and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

conditions will eliminate the benefits of the ESP system.
Synchronizing ESP
If the power supply was interrupted (battery discon-
nected or discharged), the BAS/ESP malfunction indica-
tor light may be illuminated with the engine running. To
re-synchronize the ESP, and cancel the malfunction indi-
cator light, the steering angle sensor will need to be
recalibrated.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Rotate the steering wheel to the center position.
3. Rotate the steering wheel completely to the left, and
then rotate the steering wheel completely to the right.
