What Does It Mean When The Mercedes ESP Warning Light Flashes

When the Mercedes ESP (Electronic Stability Program) warning light flashes, it indicates that the vehicle's stability control system is actively working to maintain traction and prevent skidding. This typically occurs during sharp turns or on slippery roads. However, if the light stays on, it may signal a malfunction, requiring professional diagnostic service to ensure safe driving.
