Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), this helps 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 engine output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
VSA is turned on every time you start the vehicle. 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.
When VSA is off, traction control allows the wheels
to spin more freely at low speed. This can be helpful
when trying to free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud
or snow.
Braking
Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your vehicle from moving.
Parking Brake
Apply the electric parking brake as you’re getting
ready to step out of the vehicle once your drive is
complete.
To apply: Press the parking brake switch. Hold
the switch down for emergency braking while the
vehicle is moving.
To release: Depress the brake pedal, then pull up on
the parking brake switch. Or, press the accelerator
while the vehicle is in gear.
Brake Assist System
During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The brake
pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to hold the
brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. The brake pedal
may pulsate slightly during ABS operation; this is normal. Do not pump the brake
pedal, and continue to hold it firmly down.
You may periodically hear electric motor sounds from the engine compartment.
Also, you may feel vibration through the vehicle while the ABS is active. These are
all normal.
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and size.
