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...

passenger's front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the weight sensors detect

infant or small child, on the seat...
Reasons for the indicator to come on
Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate...
