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. It may also come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to
the START (III) position.
This indicator has two functions:
It flashes when VSA is active (see
1.
page 484 ).
2. 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'' or
''CHECK HILL START ASSIST
SYSTEM'' message on the multi-
information display. Take your
vehicle to a dealer to have it
68
checked. Without VSA, your
vehicle still has normal driving
ability, but will not have VSA
traction and stability enhancement.
For more information, see page

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.
: 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
information, see pages
