Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA

®

), aka Electronic Stability Control

(ESC) System

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 engine output and selectively applying the brakes.

Turning VSA On or Off

vSA is turned on every time you start the engine,

even if you previously turned it off. If you turn 

VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and 

cornering ability, but not VSA traction and stability 

enhancement.
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 stops functioning, which may make it easier when trying to free

your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.

Eco Assist System

Can help improve fuel economy by adjusting the performance of the engine, 

transmission, climate control system, and cruise control.

ECON Button

Press the ECON button to turn the system on or off. 

The eCoN Mode indicator appears when the system

is turned on.

Ambient Meter

Color-coded bars around the speedometer change 

based on your driving style and brake or accelerator 

pedal operation.
Green: Fuel efficient driving
Light green: Moderate acceleration/deceleration
White: Aggressive acceleration/deceleration

Cruise Control*

Maintain a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on the

accelerator pedal. Use cruise control on freeways or open roads where you can

travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.

Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed

1. Press CRUISE. The CRUISE MAIN indicator appears.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed (above 25 mph/

40 km/h). Press -/SET and take your foot off the pedal 

to set the speed. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator 

appears.

Adjusting the Vehicle Speed

Press RES/+ to increase or -/SET to decrease.
Each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is 

increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). If you 

keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or 

decreases by 5 mph (5 km/h) until you release it.

Canceling Cruise Control

Press CANCEL or the brake pedal. The CRUISE CONTROL 

indicator goes off.
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still 

resume the prior set speed by pressing RES/+ while 

driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h).
Press CRUISE to turn the system off.

Improper use of the cruise control can lead to a crash.
Use cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
