Stability System - Volvo XC60 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Introduction
The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control
system (DSTC) consists of a number of func-
tions designed help reduce wheel spin, coun-
teract skidding, and to generally help improve
directional stability.

tionne normalement.
Traction control (TC)
This function is designed to help reduce wheel
spin by transferring power from a drive wheel
that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the
opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
TC is most active at low speeds.
This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and
cannot be switched off.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
This function helps maintain directional stabi-
lity, for example when cornering, by braking
one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows
a tendency to skid or slide laterally.
This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and
cannot be switched off.
Spin control (SC)
The spin control function is designed to help
prevent the drive wheels from spinning while
the vehicle is accelerating.
Under certain circumstances, such as when
driving with snow chains, or driving in deep
snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to
temporarily switch off this function for maxi-
mum tractive force.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le comportement routier et la stabilité du
véhicule seront affectés si la fonction anti-
dérapage est désactivée.
Engine Drag Control (EDC)
EDC helps keep the engine running if the
wheels show a tendency to lock, e.g., when
shifting down in the Geartronic manual shifting
mode or while using the engine's braking func-
tion on a slippery surface. If the engine were to
stop, power steering would not function, mak-
ing the vehicle more difficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist – TSA*
Trailer Stability Assist helps stabilize a vehicle
that is towing a trailer when the vehicle and
trailer have begun to sway. See page 241 for
more information.
