VSA System Description - VSA OFF MODE

When the VSA OFF switch is pressed, the VSA OFF indicator will illuminate and the VSA will go onto OFF mode.

During VSA OFF mode:

• If the TCS activates, the VSA indicator blinks while the VSA OFF indicator is still on.
• The ability to gain traction on loose sand and deep snow is increased by terminating the TCS function at low speeds.
• During a standing start from varying road surfaces under the left and right side of the vehicle, the TCS function helps gain traction.
• When the vehicle is on a lift while being serviced and its tires are not in contact with any surface, the wheel speed will not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h).
• The TCS function is fully disabled when the VSA maintenance mode is activated.
