Stability control WINTER MODE
Winter mode optimises stability of the vehicle
to suit slippery conditions, when grip is
reduced. This helps the vehicle to perform in a
more gentle and controlled manner, to avoid
skidding, allowing more confident progress
under adverse conditions.
If conditions result in reduced traction being
perceived, use of TRAC DSC or DSC OFF may
improve progress, provided that the correct
tyres for the conditions are fitted.
Note: Winter mode cannot be active at the
same time as Dynamic mode. Winter mode will
remain selected, even after the ignition is
switched off. Winter mode must be deselected
if no longer required.
DYNAMIC MODE
When dynamic mode is selected, TracDSC is
automatically selected.
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode and Dynamic mode is
selected, transmission upshifts are fully
controlled by the driver. The transmission will
not change up automatically, even when the rev
limit is reached (the gear position indicator in
the message centre will glow amber, to indicate
that the next gear should be selected).
Note: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the
same time as Winter mode. Dynamic mode will
remain selected for approximately six hours
after the ignition is switched off, after which
point it will need to be reselected if required.
Press for at least one second to
operate. Designed for use in
slippery conditions. When active,
Winter mode selects 2nd gear for
driving away on level ground (no
incline), softens the
responsiveness of the engine and
modifies the gear change strategy.
This helps ensure that optimum
traction is maintained. Press for at least one second to
operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience.
This setting enhances key vehicle
systems so that the vehicle's full
potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at
involving the driver more in
focused and purposeful driving.
