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.

When VSA activates, you will see the

VSA activation indicator blink (see

page ).

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 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.

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.

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.

You will also see a ‘‘CHECK VSA

SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-

information display if there is a

problem with the VSA system.

If the low tire pressure/TPMS

indicator comes on (see page ),

or the multi-information display

shows a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’

message with the indicator flashing

(see page ), the VSA system

automatically turns on even when

the VSA system is turned off with

the VSA OFF switch. In this case,

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.
