momentarily, and the gear position indicator comes on. When you start
traveling at a constant speed, sequential mode and the gear position indicator
automatically go off.
When the transmission is in S:
The vehicle goes into sequential mode, and the M
(sequential mode) indicator and gear position indicator come on. Use the paddle
shifters to change gears.
To cancel this mode, hold the + paddle shifter for two seconds or push D. The M
indicator and gear position indicator go off.

Car wash mode
If you are driving through a conveyor-style car wash where you or the attendant

1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Select N.
3. Select and hold N again for 2 seconds.
The gear position remains in Neutral with the power mode in Accessory for 15
minutes. After 15 minutes (or if the vehicle is turned off at any time), the gear
position changes to Park and the vehicle turns off.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA
®
)
Also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), this helps 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 power system output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start 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.
When VSA is off, traction control 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.
