ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) SWITCH
The ESP is active by default. This feature helps reduce the risk of accident by
providing traction control and stability control. If ESP senses a loss of stability
due to loss of traction (skidding) the ESP intervenes by automatically applying
brakes to one or more wheels and reducing power to the rear wheel.
WARNING
No stability control, traction control or anti-lock braking system can fully protect
you from every situation. Always be mindful of road conditions. Always drive
safely and within the limits of the driver, vehicle, and road conditions.
WARNING
Stability control, traction control and anti-lock braking systems rely on grip
between the tires and the road to function properly. In a hydroplane situation,
tires lose contact with the road and the effectiveness of these features may be
diminished.
WARNING
Operating the vehicle under normal riding conditions with the ESP disabled
could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, rollover, personal
injury, and death.
The electronic stability control system does not
compensate for or reduce the risks associated with:
• excessive speed
• reduced traction on rough, uneven or loose surfaces
• poor judgment
• improper operation
• hydroplaning
• wet or slippery road conditions
• unforeseen hazards
Under certain circumstances, such as when the
vehicle is stuck in a low traction situation, it may be
necessary to disable the ESP temporarily. Always
enable the ESP for normal operation.
