Instrument Panel Indicators
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.
This indicator has two functions:
1. It flashes when VSA is active (see
page 510 ).
2. If it comes on and stays on at any
other time, 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'' or ''CHECK HILL
START ASSIST 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, see page
68
If the VSA indicator illuminates,
hill start assist will not be working.
Without hill start assist, the
vehicle will roll downhill
immediately when you release the
brake on an incline.
