ESP / traction control active
Safe to drive
What it means
The stability or traction control is intervening because wheels are slipping. It flashes while it works.
What to do
Ease off the accelerator and reduce speed; the road is slippery or you are driving too fast for the conditions. Do not brake or steer abruptly.
This is general guidance. Symbols differ between manufacturers, so check your owner's manual, and have a red warning light looked at before you drive on.
