not see the "ESP OFF" verbiage displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and no "Car Icon" light that is on all the time in the
cluster, as described in the Owners' Manual.

be returned to "normal Full-On mode by briefly pressing and releasing the ESP Off switch. The switch resets itself each time the ignition is cycled.
