Comment

A permanently shining ESP warning light in the car indicates a problem with the driving dynamics control of the vehicle-a deactivation of the driving assistance system also results in a permanently bright ESP control light in many cars. If you have not deactivated or switched off with a permanently shining ESP warning lamp, you should go to a workshop promptly to have the functioning of the driving dynamic control checked.
