Stability system
When the stability system is in action, it may
seem like the car does not respond normally to
acceleration. This is because the system detects
the amount of friction on the road surface and
allows the different stability system functions to
operate.
The car is equipped with either STC (Stability
and Traction Control) or DSTC (Dynamic
Stability and Traction Control).

Traction Control (TC)
The Traction Control function transfers power
from the spinning drive wheel to the drive
wheel which has grip by braking the spinning
drive wheel. To increase forward traction in this
situation, it may be necessary to depress the
accelerator more than usual. A pulsing sound is
heard when Traction Control is working. This
is completely normal. The TC function is most
active at low speeds. It cannot be deactivated.
Spin Control (SC)
The Stability Control function prevents the
drive wheels from slipping during acceleration.
This improves road safety on slippery surfaces.
Under certain conditions, such as when driving
with snow chains or in deep snow or sand, it
may be beneficial to deactivate the SC function
to increase traction. This is done with the STC/
DSTC button.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
The Active Yaw Control function automatically
brakes one or more wheels to stabilise the car in
the event of a skid. If the brake pedal were to be
depressed in this situation, it would feel more
rigid than usual and a pulsing sound would be
heard.
The AYC function is always active and cannot
be deactivated.
