Switching off driving-stability control
Press the "TC OFF" logo of the rocker switch. Driving-stability control cannot be switched off during a TC control process (information light on). When doing so, operate the switch for at least 0.1 seconds. An additional 0.3 seconds will then pass until the routine is complete. Only then will driving stability control have been switched off or on.
One-sided wheelspin 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 start to spin at the same speed (slip).
With driving-stability control switched 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 drive-stability control:
- on a loose surface and in deep snow
- when "rocking" the vehicle free
- when using snow chains.
