Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA )
® ®
Also known as electronic Stability Control (eSC), vSA helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intended. It
assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
Press and hold the vSA oFF button until you hear a
beep to turn vSA on or off. The vSA oFF indicator
appears when the system is off.
Traction control stops fully functioning, which may
make it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is
stuck in mud or snow.
vSA is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you previously turned it
off. If you turn vSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability, but
traction and stability enhancement become less effective.
