The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) automatically controls braking and engine torque in conjunction with systems such as ABS and TCS to help control side slip when driving on slippery surfaces, or during sudden or evasive manoeuvring, enhancing vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS (page 4-82 ) and TCS (page 4-83 ).
DSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 20 km/h (12 mph).
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .
WARNING
Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability Control as a substitute for safe driving: The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tyre friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
CAUTION
The DSC may not operate correctly unless the following are observed:
The DSC may not operate correctly when tyre chains are used or a temporary spare tyre is installed because the tyre diameter changes.
