VSA

(Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic Stability
Control), System
Without VSA
®
, your vehicle will have normal braking
and cornering ability, but it will not have VSA
®
traction and stability enhancement.
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 VSA
®
on again. We do not recommend driving
your vehicle with the VSA
®
and traction control
systems switched off.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS, low tire pressure, or
TPMS indicator comes on or blinks, the VSA
®
system
comes on automatically. In this case, you cannot turn
the system off by pressing the
button.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the
engine compartment while system checks are being
performed immediately after starting the engine or
while driving. This is normal.
