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. This indicator has two functions: 1. It flashes when VSA is active (see page 510 ). 2. If it comes on and stays on at any other time, 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'' or ''CHECK HILL START ASSIST 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 510 . If the VSA indicator illuminates, hill start assist will not be working. Without hill start assist, the vehicle will roll downhill immediately when you release the brake on an incline. : 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). For more information, see pages 184 and 187 .
