Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
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 intende\
d. 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 power
system, even if you previously turned it off. 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.

rying to
