Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA) System Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. It flashes when VSA is
active (see page 467).
If it comes on and stays on at any
other time, there is a problem with
the VSA or Hill Start Assist system.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK VSA
SYSTEM ’’message on the multi-
information display (see page 87).
Take your vehicle to a dealer to have
it checked. Without VSA, your
vehicle still has normal driving
ability, but will not have VSA traction
and stability enhancement. For more
information, see page 467.
This indicator may also come on if
there is a problem with the trailer
stability assist function (see page
492).
VSA Off Indicator
It comes on as a reminder that you
have turned off the vehicle stability
assist (VSA) system.
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. For more information, see
page 467.
Turn Signal and
Hazard Warning
Indicators
The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an indicator does not blink
or blinks rapidly, it usually means
one of the turn signal bulbs is burned
out (see page 523). Replace the bulb
as soon as possible, since other
drivers cannot see that you are
signaling.
When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle flash.

The multi-information display in the
instrument panel displays various
information and messages when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)

you operate your vehicle more
comfortably. Others help to keep you

your vehicle needs for continued
trouble-free driving.
When you open the driver's door, a
‘‘Welcome ’’message is shown on the
multi-information display.
To change the display, press the
