Dynamic Stability & Traction Control
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)
Suspending DSC operation
Dynamic Stability & Traction Control
Land Rover recommend that DSC is operational
in all normal driving conditions.
WARNING
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is unable to
compensate for driver misjudgement. It
remains the driver’s responsibility to adopt a
suitable driving style in every driving
situation. Risks should never be taken on
account of the additional security afforded by
the DSC system.
In some driving conditions, where forward
traction should be maximised, it may be
beneficial to deactivate DSC. Such conditions
include:
•
To ‘rock’ the vehicle out of a hollow or out of
a soft surface.
•
•
•
Starting in deep snow or on a loose surface.
Driving in deep sand.
DSC optimises dynamic stability, even in
critical driving situations. The system controls
dynamic stability when accelerating and when
starting from a standstill. Additionally, it
identifies unstable driving behaviour, such as
understeering and oversteering 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. The
system is ready to operate each time the engine
is started.
Driving on tracks with deep longitudinal
ruts.
•
Driving through deep mud.
Warning light
The warning light illuminates as a
bulb and system check when the
starter switch is turned to position
‘II’ and should extinguish when the engine is
running.
If the warning light flashes, the system is active,
regulating engine output and brake forces.
If the light fails to extinguish when the engine is
started, or illuminates when driving, a fault in
the system has been detected or DSC has been
manually deselected. The vehicle can still be
driven with care, but be aware that driving
characteristics of the vehicle may change in
adverse conditions.
H5216
To deactivate DSC, press the DSC switch on the
facia (the DSC warning light will illuminate
continuously). Deactivating DSC has no effect
on traction control operation.
NOTE: Driving with DSC deactivated, may add
additional loads on the brakes - always drive
with DSC switched on if possible
