which are available at your Volvo retailer.
NOTE: The cover should be kept on when the auxiliary socket is not in use.

The stability system - Stability and Traction Control (STC), or the optional Dynamic Stability and Traction Control

Press the STC or DSTC button for approximately one second. The indicator light in the button will go out, and
STC/DSTC SPIN CONTROL OFF will be shown in the information display.

with an STC button. DSTC is optional.
WARNING!
The car's handling and stability characteristics will be altered with the anti-spin function disabled.
NOTE:The anti-spin function will be automatically reactivated when the engine is started.
