Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
The DSC automatically controls braking and engine power output in conjunction with systems such as the ABS and TCS to help control side slip when driving on slippery surfaces, or during sudden or evasive steering, which enhances vehicle stability.
Also refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS) (Search), Traction Control System (TCS) (Search), and Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) (Search).
Warning and Cautions for Using the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability Control as a substitute for safe driving.
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot compensate for unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another vehicle too closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
-
Heed the following cautions so that the DSC can operate normally.
-
Use the specified tire size and the same type of tire on all 4 wheels.
-
Do not use tires with significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle.
-
-
When using tires where the tire diameter is changed due to the installation of tire chains, or when installing an emergency spare tire, the DSC may not operate normally.
