DSC OFF Switch
Press the DSC OFF switch to turn off the
TCS/DSC. The DSC OFF indicator light
will illuminate.
Press the switch again to turn the TCS/
DSC back on. The DSC OFF indicator
light will go out.
NOTE
•
When DSC is on and you attempt to
free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow,
the TCS (part of the DSC system)
will activate. Depressing the
accelerator will not increase engine
power and freeing the vehicle may
be difficult.
When this happens, turn off the
TCS/DSC.
•
If the TCS/DSC is off when the
engine is turned off, it automatically
activates when the ignition switch is
turned on.
•
Leaving the TCS/DSC on will
provide the best stability. When the
TCS/DSC is off, the TCS/DSC does
not activate but the brake LSD
function remains.
•
If the DSC OFF switch is pressed
and held for a second or more, the
TCS/DSC system may become
inoperative due to the system
detecting switch trouble. If the
TCS/DSC system becomes
inoperative, the TCS/DSC and the
DSC OFF indicator lights
illuminate simultaneously. In this
case, turn off the engine and restart
it to restore the TCS/DSC.
