Driving your vehicle
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM) (if equipped)

Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)

helps ensure the vehicle stays stable
when accelerating or braking suddenly
on wet, slippery and rough roads where
traction over the four tires can suddenly
become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Vehicle Stability
Management (VSM):
• ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. The
VSM is not a substitute for safe
driving practices.
• Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. The VSM system will
not prevent accidents. Excessive
speed in bad weather, slippery
and uneven roads can result in
severe accidents.

VSM operation
VSM ON condition
The VSM operates when:
• The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
is on.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above
15 km/h (9mph) on curve roads.
• Vehicle speed is approximately above
30 km/h (18mph) when the vehicle is
braking on rough roads.
When operating
When the VSM is in operation, the ESC
indicator light ( ) blinks.
When you apply your brakes under con-
ditions which may activate the ESC, you
may hear sounds from the brakes, or feel
a corresponding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means your
VSM is active.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The VSM does not operate when:
• Driving rearward.
• ESC OFF ( ) indicator light is on.
• EPS (Electric Power Steering) warn-
ing light ( ) is on.
