uuWhen Driving uVSA ® (Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic Stability Control), System
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 ® is turned on every time you start the 
engine, even if you turned it off the last time 
you drove the vehicle.
■VSA ® On and Off1 VSA ® (Vehicle Stability Assist),  aka ESC (Electronic Stability 
Control), System
Without VSA®, your vehicle will  have normal braking 
and cornering ability, bu t it will not have VSA® 
traction and stability enhancement.
In certain unusual  conditions when your vehicle gets 
stuck in shallow mud or fr esh 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 atte mpt to free 
your vehicle with the VSA ® off if you ar e 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, low tire pressure, or 
TPMS  indicator comes on  or blinks, the VSA® system 
comes 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.
