What does the vsa button on a Honda CR-V do?

The VSA button on a Honda CR-V stands for Vehicle Stability Assist. It is an electronic stability control system designed to help maintain control of the vehicle during cornering, acceleration and braking. When the VSA system detects that the vehicle is losing traction, it will apply brake pressure to individual wheels and reduce engine power to help keep the vehicle on its intended path. The VSA system can be turned off by pressing and holding the VSA button for three seconds.
