Stability system

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.
IMPORTANT
Un bruit de pulsation se fait entendre
lorsque le système est activé et qu'il fonc-
04 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.
Operation
Temporarily switching off Spin control
1. Turn the thumbwheel (1) until the DSTC
menu is shown.
2. Hold down the RESET button (2) to toggle
between DSTC SPIN CONTROL ON/
OFF
.
Symbols in the instrument panel
If the symbols and
at the same time, read the message in the
information display.
If the symbol appears alone, it may
appear as follows:
•
If the symbol flashes, this indicates that the
stability system is actively functioning to
help counteract wheel spin and/or a skid.
•
If the symbol remains on for approximately
2 seconds after the engine has been star-
ted, this indicates that the system is per-
forming a self-diagnostic test.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le système de stabilité est spécialement
conçu pour améliorer la sécurité de la
conduite automobile. Il améliore le jugement
et la responsabilité du conducteur lorsqu'il
conduit un véhicule, mais n'est pas destiné
à les remplacer. La vitesse et le mode de
conduite doivent être toujours adaptés à la
circulation et aux conditions routières.
