Anti-Lock Control - Stability Assist - Project 8: Operation: TRACDSC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

NOTE: If speed control is engaged it will automatically disengage if Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) or TracDSC becomes active.

TracDSC is an alternative setting of Dynamic Stability Control (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. TracDSC must 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 by expert drivers engaged in high performance driving on dry tarmac surfaces such as tracks and circuits.

Briefly pressing and releasing the DSC switch switches the vehicle between the normal DSC settings and the TracDSC settings. To confirm which setting has been selected, either the 'DSC ON' or the TracDSC message appears temporarily in the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center.

When TracDSC is selected, the amber 'DSC OFF' warning indicator located in the IC comes on. The DSC activity indicator flashes if DSC becomes active.
