Driving

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

you drove the vehicle.

VSA

On and Off

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 turns 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.
