How to Use the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Enabling Operation of the DSC
Drive the vehicle at a speed of about 20 km/h (13 mph) or faster.
The DSC is operable.
When the DSC operates, the TCS/DSC operation indicator light 
flashes.

If the engine is stopped while the TCS/DSC/KPC operation is canceled, the TCS/DSC/KPC becomes operational when the engine is started the next time.
-
When the TCS/DSC/KPC is on and you attempt to free the vehicle from being stuck, the TCS/DSC/KPC will activate. Depressing the accelerator will not increase engine power and freeing the vehicle from being stuck might be difficult. When this happens, turn off the TCS/DSC/KPC.

If the DSC OFF switch is pressed and held for 10 seconds or longer, the TCS/DSC/KPC operation can no longer be turned off even if the DSC OFF switch or DSC-TRACK switch is pressed. In this case, the DSC OFF switch or DSC-TRACK switch will operate normally when the vehicle power is switched ON again after being switched OFF.
