3. PRECAUTIONS

The warning lamp flashes and warning beep sounds when the ESP is operating

When the ESP operates during vehicle movement, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument panel 

flashes and beep comes on every 0.1 second. The ESP system is only a supplementary device for 

comfortable driving. When the vehicle exceeds its physical limits, it cannot be controlled.

Do not rely on the system. Keep on the safe driving.

Feeling when ESP is working

When the ESP system activates, the feeling can be different depending on vehicle driving conditions.

For example, you will feel differently when the ESP system is activated during the ABS is operating 

with the brakes applied and when the brakes are not applied on a curve.

If the ESP system operates when the brake is applied, the brake pressure will be increased on the 

corresponding wheel which already has braking pressure for the ESP controls.

ARP Operation

During the ARP operation, vehicle safety (rollover prevention) takes the first priority and thus, 

stronger engine control is in effect. Consequently, the vehicle speed decreases rapidly, so the driver 

must take caution for the vehicle may drift away from the lane.

Noise and vibration that driver feels when ESP system is operating 

The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to the driver due to the pressure changes caused 

by the motor and valve operations in a very short period of time. And, keep in mind that the output 

and vehicle speed could be decreased without rpm increase due to the ASR function that controls 

the engine power.
