Vehicle Stability Assist, also known as VSA, is a feature in many Honda vehicles that will help to stabilize your vehicle during cornering in case your car turns more or less than originally desired. It also assists in maintaining traction, especially on loose or slippery road surfaces. Erie can have some rough winters, and this is a perfect feature to help assist in your winter driving. How does the VSA work? When activated, it regulates the engine’s output. It also selectively applies the brakes. You may notice when the feature is on that the engine will not respond to the accelerator the same way it normally will and the VSA Activation Indicator will also blink letting you know that it has been started.
Should I ever turn VSA off? The owner’s manual of most Hondas state to turn off VSA when the compact spare tire is installed. You may also need to turn it off if you get stuck in the snow. Ask your Service Advisor for more details. Excerpts from Honda.com
