Press the switch again to turn the TCS/
DSC back on. The DSC OFF indicator
light turns off.
NOTE
When DSC is on and you attempt to
l
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.
If the TCS/DSC is off when the
l
engine is turned off, it automatically
activates when the ignition is
switched ON.
Leaving the TCS/DSC on will
l
provide the best stability.
