Why do I hear a screeching
sound when I apply the
brake pedal? The brake pads may need to be replaced. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid dealer.
I’m seeing an amber
indicator of a tire with an
exclamation point. What is
that? The Tire Pressure Monitoring Syst em (TPMS) needs attention. If
you recently inflated or changed a tire, you have to recalibrate
the system.

422 uu When Driving u Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ® ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Driving Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ® ), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine and motor output and selectively applying the
brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the
engine and motor do not respond to the
accelerator. You may also notice some noise
from the hydraulic system . You will also see
the indicator blink.
■ VSA ® Operation 1 Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehicle checked by an authorized
Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybr id dealer immediately.
The indicators for the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ® )
System, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ® ) OFF, low tire
Pressure/TPMS and Collision Mitigation Braking
System TM
(CMBS TM
) may come on along with a
message in the driver information interface after
reconnecting the 12-volt battery. Drive a short
distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The
indicator should go off. If it does not, have your
vehicle checked by an aut horized Honda Clarity Plug-
In Hybrid dealer.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stab ility Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.VSA ® System
