Honda CR-V: Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
System / VSA® Operation
When VSA® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic system. You will also see the
indicator blink.

VSA® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns
more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery
surfaces...
This button is on the driver side control panel.
To partially disable VSA® functionality/
features, press and hold it until you hear a
beep.
Your vehicle will have normal braking and
cornering ability, but traction control function
will be less effective...

Fuel recommendation
Unleaded gasoline, pump octane number 87 or higher
Use of lower octane gasoline can cause a persistent, heavy metallic knocking
noise
that can lead to engine damage.
Top tier detergent gasoline
Because the level of detergency and additives in gasoline vary in the market,
Honda
endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to help
maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle...
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake
gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with a compact
spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or
replaced...
