ESP warning

Anyone any idea why when I select ESP (from the button by the gearstick) a yellow warning triangle appears in the left hand binnacle but nothing else? I have tried scanning for errors but nothing. A hoon round the houses didn't fix it either but it was fun.

You are NOT selecting ESP by pressing button.

You are DISABLING ESP and the warning is there to remind you it is disabled.
