decrease the deceleration stage.
2. Pull back the - selector (left side) to
increase the deceleration stage.
Pull the (+) selector for a few seconds

Vehicle Stability Assist

)
Also known as electronic Stability Control (eSC), vSA helps to 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.
