Main Menu Table Of Contents Instrument Panel Indicators Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System Indicator This indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. It may also come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the START (III) position. : 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). For more information, see pages 178 and 180 . 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 523 . VSA Activation Indicator This indicator has three functions: 1. It comes on as a reminder that you have turned off the vehicle stability assist (VSA) system. 2. It flashes when VSA is active (see page 523 ). 3. 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. 68 2009 TL
