Is it normal for the ESP triangle light to flash when going around a slippery curve or on a wet surface and the wheels loose some traction?

It's talked about in your owners manual....anytime that it engages (any loss of traction) , it's going to flash. It's doing what's it's supposed to if it's flashing. But you must be flying or your tires are fairly worn because they shouldn't break loose so easily!!

Yes it's normal. If you continue with what the ESP considers excessive power, the ESP will throttle back the engine. This is NOT a good thing if you have put yourself in a bad position.
