uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Driving
This button is on the driver side control panel.
To partially disable VSA ® functionality/
features, press and hold it until you hear a
beep.
The traction control stop s fully functioning,
allowing the wheels to spin more freely at low
speed. The VSA ® OFF indicator will also come
on and a message on the driver information
interface informs you that the mode is
changed.
Traction control mode cannot be changed
during Mud or Sand modes. If you are driving
on mud or sand, Mud or Sand Intelligent
Traction Management modes can also be
used to free a stuck ve hicle. On other road
surfaces, change to Normal or Snow mode,
then press and hold the (VSA ® OFF) button.
To restore VSA ® functionality/features, 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 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
With the button pressed, 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 the VSA ® temporarily switched off.
When the button is pressed, 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 VSA ® off if
you are 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 ® system switched off.
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.

uuWhen Driving uIntelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
Driving
Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
The intelligent variable torque management (i-VTM4TM) AWD system is a full time all
wheel drive system that automatically c ontrols and transfers varying amount of
engine torque to all wheels independently according to the driving conditions.
You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and braking
that you would in a two wheel drive vehicle.
Avoid continuously driving on slippery surfa ces where a wheel is likely to spin out,
and do not drive if the AWD indicator starts blinking. Driving continuously under
such conditions can damage the system's torque distribution unit.
If the AWD indicator blinks while driving, it indicates the differential temperature is
too high. If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, shift to park, an
idle the engine idle until the indicator go es out. If the indicator does not go out, take
your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.1Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
NOTICE
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your
vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tires can
cause transmission or re ar differential damage.
The intelligent variable torque management
(i-VTM4
TM) AWD system 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 pressures as
specified. 2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 662
