Vehicle Stability

Assist® (VSA®)

Also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), VSA helps 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.

Turning VSA On or Off

VSA is turned on every time you turn on the vehicle, even if you previously turned it off. If you turn VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability, but not VSA traction and stability enhancement.

To turn VSA on or off, press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a beep. The VSA OFF indicator appears when the system is off.

Turning VSA off also turns off traction control. That may make it easier to free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
