Default ESP question....

Under "hard acceleration" from 1st into 2nd, when I get into 2nd, the ESP flickers like a bizatch for the first few seconds.. Is this normal under these conditions?? And, this is in straight line acceleration situations.. Just seems odd that ESP would kick in..

Thanks in advance..

EDL=Electronic Diff Lock...applies brakes to prevent wheelspin.

Default RS 4 does this. Wheel spin. One brief push of ESP button to defeat ASR (trac cntl)

3 sec hold defeats ESP. -Pete

Correct and it works up to 50 MPH. You cannot disable it unless you disable the ABS system.
