What does the REST mode on the climate control do?
With the ignition off, the climate control system will run for a period of 30mins, and try to maintain the set temperature of the cabin.
Is ESP on when the warning symbol is on?
No.
Why do you need to turn ESP off?
In low grip scenarios, it helps the car to gain traction if you turn the ESP off (eg Snow and Ice). Turning the ESP off also turns off the Anti Slip Regulation (ASR) system off.
We would not recommend turning ESP off as it is a safety feature of the vehicle. If it needs to be switched off to gain grip, it should be turned on once the vehicle is moving.
