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 intended. 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 to free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
