This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, and when the ignition
switch is turned to the START (III)
position.

This indicator has three functions:

It comes on as a reminder that you
have turned off the vehicle
stability assist (VSA) system.

It flashes when VSA is active (see
page

).

It comes on along with the VSA
system indicator if there is a
problem with the VSA or Hill Start
Assist (on SH-AWD models only)
system. You will also see a
‘‘CHECK VSA SYSTEM’’ message
on the multi-information display.

If it comes on and stays on at any
other time, or it does not come on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, there is a
problem with the VSA or Hill Start
Assist (on SH-AWD models only)
system. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK
VSA SYSTEM’’ message on the
multi-information display. Take your
vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.
Without VSA, your vehicle still has
normal driving ability, but will not
have VSA traction and stability
enhancement. For more information,
see page

.

Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of
ON (II); and START Mode is the
equivalent of START (III). See page

for ignition switch and power

mode comparison.
