Low Speed Control (Lsc) - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Low Speed Control (LSC)

Low Speed Control (LSC) helps make off-road
driving easier on slippery surfaces when towing
a trailer on grass, etc. This feature is part of the
Off Road
drive mode.
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low
gears and all wheel drive to help avoid wheel
spin and to improve traction on slippery surfa-
ces. The accelerator pedal and engine react dif-
ferently to make low-speed driving easier.
Off Road
LSC is activated along with the
mode.
It is activated along with Hill Descent Control
(HDC), which increases engine braking to help
keep vehicle speed low and smooth, even driving
down steep hills.
Not available in all models
