Dynamic Stability Control (Dsc) - Aston Martin DB9 2006 Manual

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

Warning
It is the drivers responsibility to drive safely according to
the law and with due regard to prevailing conditions.
Warning
DSC must never allow the driver to be tempted into
taking risks which could affect his or her safety or that of
other road users. DSC cannot overcome consequences
of applying too much engine power for prevailing
conditions.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is a system designed to
enhance driving safety by improving the vehicle handling
when the tyres are at the limits of their grip capabilities. This
is achieved through the reduction of engine torque and
strategic application of the brakes at individual wheels.

Driver Interface and Control
The DSC system is switched 'On' when the engine is started.
When the system is operating, the DSC warning lamp will
flash.
DSC can be switched 'OFF' by pressing the DSC
switch for a minimum of 4 seconds.
The DSC button lamp and the DSC symbol
(instrument pack) will illuminate
continuously when the system is switched 'OFF'.
'DSC FUNCTION OFF' will be displayed in the message
centre right to indicate that DSC is 'OFF'.
Press and release the DSC switch again to switch the DSC
'ON'.
Use tyres of the same manufacturer, brand, tread
pattern and correct size specified for this vehicle on all
four road wheels. Do not mix worn tyres.
The DSC may not operate correctly when using tyre
chains or a temporary spare tyre.
If repair or replacement of the steering or other
surrounding equipment is necessary, always refer to
your Aston Martin Dealer. If the centre position of the
steering deviates, the DSC may not operate correctly
because there is a sensor in the steering which detects
steering wheel position.
