Low speed control

The low speed control function Low Speed
Control (LSC) facilitates off-road driving and
driving on slippery surfaces, such as with a cara-
van on grass or a boat trailer on a launch ramp.
The function is included in drive mode
Road
.
The function is adapted for off-road driving and
towing a trailer at low speeds.
With low-speed control, low gears and all-wheel
drive are prioritised, which help to avoid wheel-
spin and provides better traction on all wheels.
The accelerator is more dynamic in order to make
it easier to regulate the speed at low speeds.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC) which provides increased
engine braking to be able to maintain a low and
even speed when driving on a steep downhill gra-
dient. Which system is active depends on the
road surface, gradient of the road and car speed.
