STARTING AND DRIVING

Low speed control
The low speed control function Low Speed
Control (LSC) facilitates and improves traction
for driving off-road and on slippery surfaces,
such as with a caravan on grass or a boat trailer
on a launch ramp.
The function is included in drive mode Off Road.
The function is adapted for off-road driving and
driving with a trailer at low speed, up to approx.
40 km/h (25 mph).
With low-speed control, low gears and all-wheel
drive are prioritised, which help to avoid wheel-
spin and provides better traction on all wheels.
The accelerator pedal is less responsive in order
to facilitate traction and speed control at low
speed.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC) which means that the
speed down steep downhill gradients can be
controlled with the accelerator pedal and it
reduces the need to use the brake pedal. The
system facilitates a low and even speed while
driving on steep downhill gradients.
Activating low speed control, LSC
•
Select the Off Road drive mode in order to
activate the function.
•
Select a different drive mode in order to
deactivate.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated by the OFF
ROAD driving mode, the feel of the accelera-
tor pedal and engine response are changed.
NOTE
The driving mode is not designed to be used
on public roads.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at
higher speeds and must be reactivated at a
lower speed, if required.
