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.
IMPORTANT
When operating the vehicle in wet or reduced traction conditions, always leave the traction control and stability control enabled.
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.
