The vehicle stability assist (VSA)

system helps to stabilize the vehicle

during cornering if the vehicle turns

more or less than desired. It also

assists you in maintaining traction

while accelerating on loose or

slippery road surfaces. It does this

by regulating the engine’s output and

by selectively applying the brakes.

The VSA system cannot enhance the

vehicle’s driving stability in all

situations and does not control your

vehicle’s entire braking system. It is

still your responsibility to drive and

corner at reasonable speeds and to

leave a sufficient margin of safety.

When VSA activates, you may notice

that the engine does not respond to

the accelerator in the same way it

does at other times. There may also

be some noise from the VSA

hydraulic system. You will also see

the VSA activation indicator blink.

When VSA activates, you will see the

VSA activation indicator blink (see

page ).

If the indicator does not come on

when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON (II) position, there may be a

problem with the VSA system. Have

your dealer inspect your vehicle as

soon as possible.

If this indicator comes on while

driving, pull to the side of the road

when it is safe, and turn off the

engine. Reset the system by

restarting the engine. If the VSA

system indicator stays on or comes

back on while driving, have the VSA

system inspected by your dealer.

If the low tire pressure indicator or

TPMS indicator comes on, the VSA

system automatically turns on even

when the VSA system is turned off

by pressing the VSA OFF switch

(see page ). If this happens, you

cannot turn the VSA system off by

pressing the VSA off switch again.

Without VSA, your vehicle will have

normal braking and cornering ability,

but it will not have VSA traction and

stability enhancement.
