To disable DSC, press and briefly hold the DSC OFF switch on the fascia (the DSC off warning lamp will illuminate continuously).
Deactivating DSC also reduces the level of Traction control intervention and may lead to an increase in wheel spin.
DSC is re-enabled by one of the following:
The DSC warning lamp in the instrument pack illuminates briefly when the ignition is turned on.
If the warning lamp flashes rapidly during driving, the system is active.
A fault with the DSC system is indicated by the DSC warning lamp illuminating and an associated warning message. The vehicle can still be driven, but without DSC assistance. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Safety may be reduced by inappropriately disabling DSC. In the majority of driving situations, and particularly on-road, it is recommended that you do not disable DSC.
In some driving conditions it may be appropriate to disable DSC to improve traction. These conditions include:
Air Suspension System
Ensure that the vehicle is clear of people and obstacles before lowering the suspension. The difference between Off-road height and Access height is 105 mm (4.1 in).
The air suspension system may be used to raise or lower the height of the vehicle, using the air suspension control switch.
Note: The system may raise or lower the vehicle automatically (e.g. if a Terrain response program requires it, or if the vehicle is travelling at high speed).
Changes to the height of the vehicle must be made when all doors are closed. Except for remote operation (see 87, REMOTE OPERATION), the engine must also be running.
If a door is opened during a height change, the height change will be suspended. If the door is closed within 90 seconds, the height change will then complete. If the doors are not closed in time, the desired height should be reselected once the doors are closed. Driving off will return the vehicle to normal height.
Note: If the air suspension is used many times in succession, speed of operation may slow.
Off-road height can be selected by pressing up on the raise/lower switch (1) at any speed up to 40 km/h (24 mph). If selected, and the speed exceeds 50 km/h (30 mph), a warning will appear in the message centre and the system will return to normal height.
To select access height from normal height, press down on the raise/lower switch. To select access height from Off-road height, press down on the switch once, and then a second time while lowering is in progress. ACCESS HEIGHT SELECTED will be displayed in the message centre.
If the vehicle speed is greater than 20 km/h (12 mph), the system will wait for the speed to decrease. If it does not fall below this speed within 1 minute, the height change will be cancelled.
Once the speed falls below 20 km/h (12 mph) the vehicle will be partly lowered. When the speed falls below 8 km/h (5 mph) within 1 minute, full access height will be reached.
