Warning
When driving with a roof load, for in-
stance with roof-mounted luggage rack,
the vehicle's center of gravity is higher,
which increases the risk of the vehicle tip-
ping in critical driving situations. There
may be a risk of accident or risk of damage
to property. Do not deactivate DSC Dy-
namic Stability Control when driving with
roof load.

DTC Dynamic Traction Con-
trol
Concept
DTC is a version of the DSC Dynamic Stabil-
ity Control where forward momentum is op-
timized.
The system ensures maximum headway on
special road conditions, for instance unp-
lowed snowy roads or loose road surfaces,
but with somewhat limited vehicle 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.
