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 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.
