TRACDSC
TracDSC should only be used when
necessary for the prevailing
conditions.
TracDSC optimises the DSC settings for
maximum traction in difficult conditions, such
as packed snow. This makes greater traction
available, without having to completely lose the
benefits of DSC. However, vehicle stability may
be reduced. The less restrictive settings of
TracDSC also enable a more involving and
focused driving experience.
Conditions where the use of TracDSC would be
advantageous or necessary:
• On packed snow.
• To help maintain the movement of the
vehicle on soft or loose surfaces (e.g.
gravel or sand).
• When snow chains are fitted and
JaguarDrive Control special modes are off
(or switch DSC off in Winter mode).
• To maximise driver involvement.
Note: When DSC is off with Winter mode
selected, the vehicle retains a reduced level of
DSC control, but the parameters are optimised
for use with snow chains.
SWITCHING BETWEEN DSC AND
TRACDSC
• The warning lamp in the instrument panel
will illuminate while Trac DSC is selected.
• The warning lamp will flash when DSC or
Trac DSC is active (cruise control will
automatically disengage if this occurs).
SWITCHING DSC OFF
• Press and hold the DSC switch for more
than 10 seconds.
• The message centre will display DSC OFF
and a short warning chime will sound.
• The warning lamp in the instrument panel
will illuminate.
SWITCHING DSC ON
• Press and release the DSC switch.
• The DSC system will switch on, the
message centre will temporarily display
DSC ON.
• The warning lamp in the instrument panel
will be extinguished.
Note: Switching the engine off and then on
again, will always revert DSC status to DSC ON,
regardless of which mode is selected.
