The Catalan giants marched to their 18th win of the domestic season on Sunday with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Malaga.
Barca are unbeaten in the Primera Division this term, with the weekend's triumph having left them 11 points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid at the summit.
Vilanova, however, believes the Blaugrana should not now think they can just sit back and coast if they hope to be crowned Spanish champions at the end of the campaign.
He said: "It's fantastic but we can't stop here.
"We are not invincible. Everything we've achieved up until now is thanks to the effort we've put in and our eagerness to win. The day we don't play at a high level is the day we lose."
As for whether Barca can maintain their undefeated record, Vilanova added: "It wouldn't be normal.
"There is the Champions League and the Copa del Rey... we need to go to Atletico, to Madrid.
"It was unthinkable to have this advantage at the start of the season."
