Low speed control*
The low speed control function (LSC
tates and improves traction for driving off-
road and on slippery surfaces, such as with a
caravan on grass or a boat trailer on a launch
ramp.
In a car with drive mode control*, the function
is included in the Off Road drive mode.
The function is adapted for off-road driving
and driving with a trailer at low speed, up to
approx. 40 km/h (25 mph).
Low speed control prioritises low gears and
traction. If the car is all-wheel drive, the
motive force is distributed evenly in order to
provide as good traction as possible on all
wheels and to reduce the risk of wheel spin.
The accelerator pedal is less responsive in
order to facilitate traction and speed control at
low speed.
The function is activated together with hill
descent control, (HDC 15 ) which means that
speed down steep hills can be controlled with
the accelerator pedal, reducing the need to
use the brake pedal. The system facilitates a
low and even speed while driving on steep
downhill gradients.

When LSC with HDC is activated, the feel
of the accelerator pedal and engine
response are changed.
NOTE
The driving mode is not designed to be
used on public roads.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at
higher speeds and must be reactivated at a
lower speed, if required.
