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.
Traction control becomes less effective, which may make it easier when t

rying to

Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing C
o2 emissions is dependent on several
factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving\
habits, and
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not ach\

rated fuel economy of this vehicle. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. Y

ou can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel.
•
Stop the power system, and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
•
Handle fuel only outdoors.
•
Wipe up spills immediately.
