*Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is an electronic system
designed to help the driver maintain control under
adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and
driver steering input can all affect whether DSC will be
effective in preventing loss of control. Please see your
owner’s manual for further details. † Bluetooth is a
