What is vsa?

VSA, or Vehicle Stability Assist, is an electronic stability control system that is designed to help prevent skidding and loss of traction in a vehicle. It works by using sensors to monitor the vehicle's speed, steering angle, and lateral acceleration. If the system detects a loss of traction or the onset of a skid, it will automatically apply the brakes to individual wheels and reduce engine power to help maintain stability and control.

VSA is typically activated when driving on slippery or uneven surfaces, such as wet roads, gravel, or ice. It can help improve handling and safety in these conditions by preventing the vehicle from sliding or spinning out of control.

Many newer vehicles come equipped with VSA as a standard feature, and it is often integrated with other safety systems such as anti-lock brakes and traction control. It is important for drivers to understand how VSA works and to use it effectively to help prevent accidents and improve overall driving safety.
