Help (caution light )

Hey guys,

this monring while driving my car i noticed a caution light with a question mark light came on at the left hand side. Anyone has a clue as to what this mean?

I don't have my manual on me currently to interput what this sign means.

Thanks for the help!

you might have pushed the VSA button by accident. If pushing it again does not solve it, check if ur brake lights are working. If not, you have a faulty brake switch.

If it just blinked on for a moment, it means the VSA system was operating. Like if you hit a patch of sand or water on paint stripes while accelerating, etc.
Or, if you were in a full-on sideways 4-wheel drift, it would probably come on then.
Props to you for being able to look at the dash if that was the case.

If the wheels spin after taking off from a dead stop, will VSA light flash? I'm inclined to say no after observing it over 10 times....

My experience was it flashed while accelerating in 2nd over some bumps.
Will it actually spin the tires from a stop when the VSA is not turned off? I haven't tried.
