Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
| WARNING | The fact that the vehicle is fitted with Dynamic Stability Control must never allow the driver to be tempted into taking risks which could affect his/her safety or that of other road users. In all cases it remains the driver's responsibility to drive safely according to the prevailing conditions. |
Dynamic stability control may also be specified as an option.
DSC is operational whenever the engine is running, unless it has been switched off. The DSC system controls the anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control and yaw control of the vehicle. Yaw control determines the vehicle's direction relative to the driver's inputs (sideslip and under/oversteer). It applies braking pressure to individual wheels if excessive variation is detected. This ensures that the vehicle follows the drivers intended direction of travel. The dynamic stability control system, when fitted, can be switched OFF by pressing the switch on the gear selector surround. The warning light in the instrument cluster will remain on to show that the system has been switched OFF. If the switch is pressed again the system will switch ON. A system malfunction is indicated by a message. It is safe to drive the vehicle but the system may not activate under wheel spin or slide conditions. Report the fault to a Jaguar Dealer as soon as possible. Message: DSC SYSTEM FAULT Warning light: Amber and the instrument cluster warning light will be lit.
