This DSC mode is calibrated
for a low level of skidding,
based on different conditions
of grip encountered on the
road.
When the ignition is switched off, the
system returns automatically to DSC
mode.
This DSC OFF mode is
only suitable for specifi c
conditions encountered when
moving off or at low speed.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h) the system
returns to DSC mode automatically. This snow mode allows the
vehicle to adapts its strategy
to the conditions of grip
encountered for each of the
two front wheels, on moving off.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to provide the best
acceleration possible for the grip
available.
This off-road mode (mud,
wet grass...) allows, when
moving off, considerable
wheelspin on the wheel
with the least grip to favour
clearing of the mud and regain "grip".
At the same time, the wheel with the
most grip is controlled in such a way as
to transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises
wheelspin to meet the driver's
requirements as fully as possible. This sand mode allows a
little wheelspin on the two
driving wheels at the same
time to allow the vehicle to
move forward and reduces
the risk of getting stuck in the sand.
Do not use the other modes on sand
as the vehicle may become stuck.
