Low Speed Control (LSC)
Low Speed Control (LSC) helps make off-road
driving easier on slippery surfaces when towing
a trailer on grass, etc. This feature is part of the
Off Road drive mode.
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low
gears and all wheel drive to help avoid wheel spin
and to improve the vehicle's tractive force. The
accelerator pedal and engine react differently to
make low-speed driving easier.
It is activated along with Hill Descent Control
(HDC), which increases engine braking to help
keep vehicle speed low and smooth, even driving
down steep hills.
Activating LSC
This function can be activated in different ways,
depending on how the vehicle is equipped.
Using the driving mode control
*
Select the Off Road drive mode to activate LSC.
Select any other drive mode to turn it off.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated by the Off
Road drive mode, the feel of the accelerator
pedal and engine response will change.
The function is deactivated when driving at
higher speeds and must be reactivated at
lower speeds if so desired.
