STC/DSTC
Stability Traction Control (STC)*/
Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC)**
* Standard except on R-models.
** Standard on R-models, option on all other models
The stability systems consist of a number of functions:
The following two functions are common to both STC/DSTC
1. 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 car (on the same axle). TC monitors and
compares the rotational speed of the drive wheels. If one of the drive
wheels shows a tendency to spin, the difference in speed is immediately
detected. This triggers the Anti-lock Brake System, which brakes the
spinning wheel until the difference in rotational speed is corrected.
TC is most active at low speeds, and a pulsating sound will be audible
when the system is regulating wheel spin. This is quite normal.
This is one of the STC/DSTC's permanent functions and is not affected
when the button on the center control panel is pressed.
2. Spin control (SC)
The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels
from spinning while the car is accelerating. This is done by temporarily
reducing engine torque to the drive wheels, which helps improve
stability and tractive force.
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 maximum tractive force. This is done by
pressing the STC/DSTC button on the center control panel for at least a
half a second.
When the SC function has been switched off:
• The text window (see page 30) will briefly display "SPIN CONTROL
OFF"
• The LED in the STC/DSTC button will be off.
The following function is only available with DSTC:
3. Active Yaw Control (AYC)
This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when
cornering, by braking one or more of the wheels if the car shows a
tendency to skid or slide laterally. This is done by activating the Anti-
lock Braking System. A pulsating sound will be audible when the
function is active, which is quite normal. If you apply the brakes while
this function is active, the brake pedal will feel stiffer than usual.
This is also one of the DSTC system's permanent functions and is not
affected when the DSTC button on the center control panel is pressed.
R-models only:
The AYC function can be deactivated. This is done by pressing the
DSTC button on the center control panel (see the illustration on page 31)
for approximately one second. This procedure must be repeated 5 times,
after which DSTC REDUCED FUNCTION will be displayed in the
text window. AYC will be automatically reactivated the next time the
ignition is switched on.
WARNING! With AYC disabled, the cars handling and stability
characteristics will be altered.
