Maintain a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on the
accelerator pedal. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where you can
travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.

Improper use of the cruise control can lead to a crash.
Use cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.

WARNING

off the pedal to set the speed. The CRUISE
CONTROL indicator appears.

Adjusting the Vehicle Speed

Press RES/+ to increase or SET/- to decrease speed.

Integrated Dynamics System (IDS)

Choose a driving mode for your preference based on road conditions, vehicle speed,
and handling.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control

(ESC) System

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 turn on the vehicle. If you turn VSA off, your
vehicle has normal braking and cornering ability, but VSA traction and stability
enhancement become less effective.
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
allows the wheels to spin more freely at low
speed. This can be helpful when trying to free
your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
