Principles Of Operation: TRACDSC

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

TracDSC is an alternative setting of DSC with reduced system interventions. With TracDSC engaged, traction may be somewhat increased, although stability may be reduced compared to normal DSC. TracDSC is intended for use only on dry tarmac by suitably experienced drivers and should not be selected for other surfaces or by drivers with insufficient skill and training to operate the vehicle safely with the TracDSC function engaged. The less restrictive TracDSC setting may be preferred, for example, by expert drivers engaged in high performance driving on dry tarmac surfaces such as tracks and circuits.

WARNING: Vehicle safety may be reduced by inappropriate use of TracDSC. TracDSC should only be used in suitable conditions.

Briefly pressing and releasing the DSC switch will switch the vehicle between normal DSC settings and TracDSC settings. To confirm which setting has been selected, either DSC ON or TracDSC will be temporarily displayed in the instrument cluster message center.

When TracDSC is selected, the amber DSC warning indicator located in the instrument cluster will illuminate. The warning indicator will remain illuminated unless TracDSC becomes active. At this point the warning indicator will flash.

NOTE: If speed control is engaged it will automatically disengage if DSC or TracDSC becomes active.
