The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
illuminate. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See
“Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system”
(P.5-30).)
