Vehicle Stability Assist (Vsa ® ); Multi-View Rear Camera - Acura RDX 2018 Owner's Manual

DRIVING
Vehicle Stability Assist (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. VSA is also known as
Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you turn on the vehicle, even if you previously turned
it off. If you turn VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability,
but not VSA traction and stability enhancement.
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 functioning, which may
make it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it
is stuck in mud or snow.

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath
the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting,
and high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display, which does
not give you all information about conditions at the rear of your vehicle.
