When Driving VSA ® (Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic Stability Control), System
VSA ® On and Off
This button is on the driver side control
panel. To turn the VSA
® system on and off,
press and hold it until you hear a beep.
VSA ® will stop and the indicator will come
on.
To turn it on again, press the (VSA ® OFF)
button until you hear a beep.
VSA ® is turned on every time you start the
engine, even if you turned it off the last time
you drove the vehicle.
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.
