What does snowflake light mean on the dashboard of 2008 Jetta?

The snowflake light on the dashboard of a 2008 Jetta indicates that the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is turned off. The ESC system helps to keep the vehicle from skidding by automatically braking individual wheels and adjusting the engine torque. When the snowflake light is illuminated, the ESC system is not active and the vehicle is more likely to skid. The snowflake light will usually illuminate when the vehicle is started in icy or snowy conditions. It can also be turned off manually by pressing the ESC button on the dashboard.
