DTC Dynamic Traction Con-
trol
Concept
DTC is a version of the DSC Dynamic Stabil-
ity Control where drive power is optimized.
The system ensures maximum drive power
on unusual road conditions, for instance
unplowed snow covered roads, or loose road
surfaces, but with somewhat limited driving
stability.
When DTC is activated, the vehicle has
maximum traction. Driving stability is lim-
ited during acceleration and when driving
in curves.
Drive carefully.
You may find it useful to briefly activate
DTC under the following special circum-
stances:
– When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
– When driving off from deep snow or
loose ground.
– When driving with tire chains.
