164 Starting and driving

The ESP® indicator light

The indicator light on the main instru- ment comes on for a short period of time

when the ESP® system is operative.

Operation of the ESP® system indicates reduced cohesion between the tires and the road, and that extra care should be taken by the driver.

The ESP® OFF-indicator light

The light on the main instrument comes on if:

•A fault has been detected and the system has therefore been switched off.

•The system has been switched off manu- ally.

•When the ignition key is turned to the ON position, the lamp is lit for about four sec- onds while the system undergoes a self-test.

Turning the ESP® system off

The system can be turned off manually with

the ESP® button, whereupon the light on the main instrument panel will come on.

The ESP® system cannot be switched off if the car is travelling faster than 35 mph (60 km/h).

The ESP® system is always operative during braking, even if it has been switched off manually.

NOTICE

Suspension modifications, such as changing the type of wheels, dampers or springs, can affect the function of the

ESP® system.

Always consult a workshop before chang- ing any suspension components. We rec- ommend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer.
