    There will be a button on the dash to turn it off if you have it. Near the hazard switch says (ESP) What year are you? I believe 2001+ only had ESP.

    you can see if your car has ESP if it starts its own engine as you approach the car. it will also close the windows before you even see the storm coming

    LOL!! I heard it also kidnaps you and drives you to Autozone (or insert your local oil-buying place) when its time for an oil change...

    I believe that is good help right there.

    And by the way, I was referring to ESP as in extra sensory perception aka sixth sense. It was just a silly joke, I thought you'd get it =P Oh well, at least a couple people did.
