The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with the BAS on some models. The yellow BAS malfunction indicator light and the yellow ESP warning light in the instrument cluster both come on with the key in the ignition switch turned to the "ON" position. They should go out with the engine running. If the BAS/ESP malfunction indicator light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the BAS or the ESP system. If this light stays illuminated, have the BAS and ESP checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)- IF EQUIPPED 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 enhances directional control and reduces driving wheel spin of the vehicle under various driving conditions. The system operates when the vehicle speed is greater than 7.8 mph (12.6 km/h). The ESP system corrects for over/understeering of the vehicle by applying brakes to the appropriate wheel. Engine torque is also limited. 3
