Driving
Vehicle Stability Assist TM
(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
1Vehicle Stability Assist TM
(VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
VSA ® may not function properly if tire type and size
are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and type of tire, and the air pr essures as specified.
2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 413
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
Acura NSX dealer immediately.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the en tire 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.

In Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, your vehicle will have
normal braking and corn ering ability, but VSA®
traction and stability enhancement becomes less
effective.
In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets
stuck in shallow mud or fr esh snow, it may be easier
to free it with Stuck Vehicle Assist mode.
In Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, the traction control
function becomes less effective. This allows for the
wheels to spin more freely at low speed. You should
only attempt to free your vehicle with the button
pressed if you are not ab le to free it without.
Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to
press the button again. We do not recommend driving your vehicle with Stuck Vehicle Assist mode.
