Hi all just wondering if someone could help, first time driving in the snow yesterday morning, while I was braking at the lights a esp light was flashing on the dash and the break pedal was pulsing, by pulsing I mean felt like the pedal was bouncing as I was pressing it, this happened 3 times in total in light snow that morning, anyone have any idea what it is or what it means? Any help would be much appreciated as im quite new to driving and has put me off going out in the snow.

^ that. You had less grip because of the snow so the ESP triggered to stop you skidding. I've always found it a bit too twitchy in this car though, wish it was a little less sensitive.

ESP needs to be off in the snow.
As I learned the other day, the esp is not designed to be used in the snow.
The wheels need to be able to spin, esp stops that.

Only problem is that you can only turn it off permanently in the DSport and higher models. The others automatically turn it back on after 30 seconds or when you hit 30mph.

Hold it in until the light is permanently on, on the dash. Press the button to turn it back on

Is it a petrol or diesel? Think it's only the petrol THP where it can be permanently turned off, because racecar.
