Vehicle Stability
Assist (VSA®)
Also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), VSA 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.
Turning VSA On or Off
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 traction and stability enhancement become less effective.
VSA OFF indicator
Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator appears when the system is off.
Traction control stops functioning, which may make it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
