Honda CR-V: Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System / VSA® On and Off
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.
To restore VSA® functionality/features, press
the 
(VSA® OFF) button until you
hear a
beep.
VSA® is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle.
When the 
button is pressed, the
traction control
function becomes less effective. This allows for the
wheels to spin more freely at low speed. You should
only attempt to free your vehicle with the VSA® off if
you are not able to free it when the VSA® is on.
Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to switch VSA® on again. We do not recommend driving your vehicle with the VSA® system switched off.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the engine compartment while system checks are being performed immediately after starting the engine or while driving. This is normal.
The indicators for the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) OFF, low tire pressure/TPMS, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™ ), and Parking Brake and Brake System (Amber) may come on along with a message in the Driver Information Interface after reconnecting the battery. Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The indicator should go off. If it does not, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

Auto High-Beam
The front sensor camera detects the light sources ahead of the vehicle such as the lights of a preceding or oncoming vehicle, or street lights. When you are driving at night, the system automatically switches the headlights between low beam and high beam depending on the situation.
