DSC OFF Switch
Note:
When DSC is on and you attempt
to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the
TCS (part of the DSC system) will
activate. Depressing the accelerator
will not increase engine power and
freeing the vehicle may be difficult.
When this happens, turn off the
TCS/DSC.
70
If the TCS/DSC is off when the
engine is turned off, it automatically
activates when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. DSC cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. DSC also
cannot prevent accidents resulting from
05060301-12A-001
loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate
driver input for the conditions. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents. The capabilities of an DSC
equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user's safety or the
safety of others.
Warning!
Vehicle modifications, or failure to
properly maintain your vehicle, may
change the handling characteristics of your
vehicle, and may negatively affect the
performance of the DSC system. Changes
to the steering system, suspension,
braking system, tire type and size or wheel
size may adversely affect DSC
performance. Improperly inflated and
unevenly worn tires may also degrade
DSC performance. Any vehicle
modification or poor vehicle maintenance
that reduces the effectiveness of the DSC
system can increase the risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
