Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA) System Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position.
If it comes on and stays on at any
other time, or it does not come on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, there is a
problem with the VSA system. You
will also see a
‘‘CHECK VSA
SYSTEM ’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page 81 ).
Take your vehicle to a dealer to have
it checked. Without VSA, your
vehicle still has normal driving
ability, but will not have VSA traction
and stability enhancement. For more
information, see page
359 .
This indicator may also come on if
there is a problem with the trailer
stability assist function (see page
376 ).
VSA Activation Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. For more information, see
page
359 .
This indicator has four functions.
1. It comes on as a reminder that you
have turned off the vehicle stability
assist (VSA) system.
2. It flashes when VSA is active (see
page 359 ).
3. It flashes when trailer stability
assist is activating (see page 376 ).
4. It comes on along with the VSA
system indicator if there is a
problem with the VSA system. You
will also see a
‘‘CHECK VSA
SYSTEM ’’ message and a
‘‘CHECK TRAILER STABILITY
ASSIST ’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page 81 ).
Turn Signal and
Hazard Warning
Indicators
The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an indicator does not blink
or blinks rapidly, it usually means
one of the turn signal bulbs is burned
out (see page
404 ). Replace the bulb
as soon as possible, since other
drivers cannot see that you are
signaling.
When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle flash.
