DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)
In some driving conditions it may be appropriate
to disable DSC to improve traction. These
conditions include:
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is
unable to compensate for driver
misjudgement. It remains the driver's
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention, in a manner which is
safe for the vehicle, its occupants and
the other road users.

•
Rocking the vehicle out of a hollow or deep
rut.
Pulling away in deep snow, or a loose
surface.
Driving through deep sand or mud.
This vehicle is not designed for
cornering at the same speed as
conventional passenger cars any more
than a low-slung sports car is designed
to perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate the vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
DSC assists vehicle stability, even in critical
driving situations, when accelerating and when
starting from a standstill. Additionally, it
identifies unstable driving behaviour, such as
understeer and oversteer and helps to keep the
vehicle under control by manipulating the engine
output and applying the brakes at individual
wheels. Some noise may be generated when
the brakes are applied.
To disable DSC, press and briefly hold the DSC
OFF switch. The DSC OFF warning lamp will
illuminate (see 50, DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC) OFF (AMBER)). Deactivating
DSC also reduces the level of Traction control
intervention and may lead to an increase in
wheel spin.
Note: DSC cannot be disabled in Automatic
mode. See 142, TERRAIN RESPONSE
OPERATION.
SWITCHING DSC OFF
Safety may be reduced by
inappropriately disabling DSC. In the
majority of driving situations, and
particularly on-road, it is
recommended that you do not disable
DSC.
SWITCHING DSC ON
Note: DSC is enabled automatically at the start
of each ignition cycle.
Press and briefly hold the DSC OFF switch to
re-enable DSC. Alternatively, select a new
Terrain response special programme.
DSC must be switched off when traction
devices are fitted. See 243, USING SNOW
CHAINS.
Note: DSC is automatically disabled when the
ignition is switched off.

Automotive readers have rated 2014-2015 Land Rover Range Rover Handbook Manual 3.0 out of 3.0 based on 1 product reviews. I stopped to buy fuel. On shifting to D to move, my range rover could not move, but low gear light continued to blink. The low gear button remained stiff. What is wrong?
