Starting and driving
Stability system
When the stability system
1
is in action, it may
seem like the car does not respond normally
to acceleration. This is because the system
detects the amount of friction on the road
surface and allows the different stability
system functions to operate.
The car is either equipped with STC (Stability
and Traction Control) – Stability and traction
control system or DSTC (Dynamic Stability
and Traction Control) – Dynamic stability and
traction control system.
See page 41 for further information on warn-
ing symbols in the combined instrument
panel
Traction Control – (TC)
The Traction Control function transfers
power from the spinning drive wheel to the
drive wheel which has grip by braking the
spinning drive wheel. To increase forward
traction in this situation, it may be necessary
to depress the accelerator more than usual. A
pulsing sound is heard when Traction Control
is working. This is completely normal. The TC
function is most active at low speeds. It
cannot be deactivated.
Spin Control (SC)
The Stability Control function prevents the
drive wheels from slipping during accelera-
tion. This improves road safety on slippery
surfaces. Under certain conditions, such as
when driving with snow chains or in deep
snow or sand, it may be beneficial to deacti-
vate the SC function to increase traction. This
is done with the STC/DSTC button.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
The Active Yaw Control function automati-
cally brakes one or more wheels to stabilise
the car in the event of a skid. If the brake
pedal were to be depressed in this situation,
it would feel more rigid than usual and a puls-
ing sound would be heard.
The AYC function is always active and cannot
be deactivated.
