Limited-Slip Differential; Continuous Damping; Control (Cdc); Automatic Level Control - Chevrolet Captiva 2007 Owner's Handbook Manual

206 Driving and Operating
The green DCS light flashes on the
instrument panel while driving at
speeds below 50 km/h (30 mph) to
show the system is operating.
DCS will not activate at speeds
above 50 km/h (30 mph), even if the
button is pressed.
Caution
DCS is designed for driving down
steep off-road hills. Unnecessary
use of DCS can cause
malfunctions in the brake system
or ESC. Do not use DCS when
driving on normal road surfaces.
To turn the system off, press the
DCS button again and the DCS light
turns off. Applying the brake or
accelerator will also cause DCS to
turn off.
The amber DCS light flashes when
the system is not ready due to high
temperature through severe or
repeated braking. The light will turn
off when the system cools.
The amber DCS light comes on
steady if there is a system
malfunction. See your dealer for
service.

Limited-Slip Differential

Vehicles with a limited-slip
differential can give more traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand, or gravel.
It works like a standard differential
most of the time, but when traction
is low, this feature allows the drive
wheel with the most traction to
move the vehicle.

Continuous Damping

Control (CDC)

The CDC feature provides superior
vehicle ride and handling under a
variety of passenger and loading
conditions.
The system is fully automatic and
uses a computer controller to
continuously monitor vehicle speed,
wheel to body position, lift/dive, and
steering position of the vehicle. The
controller then sends signals to
each shock absorber to
independently adjust the damping
level to provide the optimum
vehicle ride.

Automatic Level Control

This feature keeps the rear of the
vehicle level as the load changes.
The system is automatic and no
adjustments are necessary.
