Switching off driving-stability control
Press the "TC OFF" logo of the rocker switch. Press the switch for at least 0.1 second. Then wait another 0.3 second until the routine has been completed. Only then is driving stability control switched off or on. Driving-stability control cannot be switched off during a TC control process (information light on).
One-sided wheel spin on the drive axle is further prevented by brake control up to a speed of 100 km/h.
Driving stability is not monitored, since the drive wheels can spin at the same rpm (slip).
When driving-stability control is off, the TC warning light in the instrument panel and the indicator light in the rocker switch are lit.
It can be advantageous to switch off driving stability control:
- on a loose surface and in deep snow
- when "rocking" the vehicle free
- when using snow chains.
