Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
On vehicles without navigation system
If the low tire pressure indicator or
TPMS indicator comes on, see
page 420 .
On vehicles with navigation system
If the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator comes on, see page
Or, if the multi-information display
shows a ''CHECK TPMS
SYSTEM'' message with the
indicator flashing, see page
In this case, you cannot turn off the

Without VSA, your vehicle will have
normal braking and cornering ability,
but it will not have VSA traction and

VSA OFF Switch
423 .
96 .
This switch is under the driver's side
vent. To turn the VSA system on and
off, press and hold it until you hear a
beep.
When VSA is off, the VSA activation
indicator comes on as a reminder.
VSA is turned on every time you
start the engine, even if you turned it
off the last time you drove the
vehicle.
In certain unusual conditions when
your vehicle gets stuck in shallow
mud or fresh snow, it may be easier
to free it with the VSA temporarily
switched off. When the VSA system
is off, the traction control system is
also off. You should only attempt to
free your vehicle with the VSA off if
you are not able to free it when the
VSA is on.
Immediately after freeing your
vehicle, be sure to switch the VSA on
again. We do not recommend driving
your vehicle with the VSA and
traction control systems switched off.
