Low Speed Control*
The low-speed function (LSC 10
and improves control and traction on rough
roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing
a trailer on grass or up boat ramps.
In vehicles equipped with drive mode but-
ton*, the function is included in the
drive mode.
Low Speed Control is designed for driving on
rough roads and when towing trailers at low
speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
Low Speed Control prioritizes low gear posi-
tions and traction. If the vehicle is all-wheel
drive, power is automatically distributed
evenly to provide as much traction as possible
on all wheels and reduce the risk of wheel
spin. The accelerator pedal will be less respon-
sive to improve traction and speed control at
low speeds.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC 11 ), which makes it pos-
sible to control speed going down steep hills
using the accelerator pedal and reduces the
need to use the brake pedal. The system
makes it possible to maintain a low and uni-
form speed when driving down steep hills.
