Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA) System Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
＊
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. It may also come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to
the START (III) position.
Models equipped with the
＊ :
keyless access system have an
engine start/stop button instead
of an ignition switch. ON Mode
is the equivalent of ON (II), and
START Mode is the equivalent
of START (III). For more

If it comes on and stays on at any
other time, or it does not come on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, there is a
problem with the VSA or Hill Start
Assist (on SH-AWD models only)
system. You will also see a ''CHECK
VSA SYSTEM'' message on the
multi-information display. Take your
vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.
Without VSA, your vehicle still has
normal driving ability, but will not
have VSA traction and stability
enhancement. For more information,
