hold it until you hear a beep.
VSA ® will stop and the indicator will come on.

VSA ® OFF
Indicator
VSA ® (Vehicle Stability Assist), aka ESC (Electronic
Stability Control), System
Without VSA ® , your vehicle will have normal
braking and cornering ability, but it will not have
VSA
® traction and stability enhancement.
In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle
gets stuck in shallow mud or fresh snow, it may be
easier to free it with the VSA
® temporarily switched
off.
When the VSA ® system is off, the traction control
system is also off. 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 ® and traction
control systems switched off.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on or
blinks, the VSA
® system comes on automatically.
In this case, you cannot turn the system off by
pressing the button.
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.
