Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control (All)

Definition

Vehicle Stability Assist™5 with traction control is designed to help the driver retain steering control while cornering and during maneuvers that could cause a loss of traction and directional control. VSA works by controlling brake pressure or engine power—or a combination of the two—depending on the situation. It is especially helpful when driving in low-traction conditions, such as snow or rain.
