2019 Acura ILX Owners Manual - Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®) System



Vehicle Stability Assist® (VSA®) System

Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes. VSA is also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

■Turning VSA On or Off

This button is on the driver side control panel. To partially disable VSA® functionality/features, press and hold it until you hear a beep.

To restore VSA® functionality/features, press the (VSA® OFF) button until you hear a beep.

VSA® is turned on every time you turn the power system on, even if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle.

VSA® is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you previously turned it off. If you turn VSA® off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability, but VSA® traction and stability enhancement become less effective.
