Dynamic Stability Control With Track Mode - Aston Martin Vantage S 2016 Owner's Manual

Hill Start Assist
The hill start assist function gives assistance and safety when driving
off an up or down gradient. As you change from the brake to the
accelerator pedal, the brake pressure is retained for a brief moment,
the vehicle will remain stationary for long enough so that you can
move off without rolling in the unintended direction.
The hill start assist function will work on inclines of 4% and greater.
On inclines of less than 4%, the park brake should be applied when
stationary to prevent roll-back.

Dynamic Stability Control with Track Mode

Warning: It is the driver's responsibility to drive safely
according to the law and with due regard to prevailing
conditions.
Warning: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must never let the
driver 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
If repair or replacement of the steering or other surrounding
equipment is necessary, always refer to your Aston Martin
Dealer. There is a sensor in the steering system which detects
steering angle. If the centre position of the steering deviates, the
DSC system may not operate correctly.
The DSC system may not operate correctly when using tyre
chains or a temporary spare tyre.
Use tyres of the same manufacturer, brand, type, tread pattern
and correct size specified for this vehicle on all four road wheels.
Do not mix new and worn tyres on the same axle.
