Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before driving the vehicle. Failure to follow the guidelines could result in vehicle damage, serious injury, or death.
DSC helps maintain the vehicle’s stability in critical driving situations, e.g., during unstable driving conditions such as understeer and oversteer. If required, DSC controls the engine’s power output and applies the brakes at individual wheels.
In addition, make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before selecting TracDSC. Inappropriate use of the TracDSC feature could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Press and hold the DSC OFF button for longer than 3 seconds to switch DSC off.
The instrument panel temporarily displays a message to confirm that DSC has been switched off. A warning tone also sounds, and the DSC OFF warning lamp illuminates. See DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) OFF (AMBER).

Switching DSC off may prove a benefit when:
The instrument panel temporarily displays a message to confirm that DSC has been switched on. The DSC OFF warning lamp extinguishes. See DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) OFF (AMBER).

The spoiler can also be manually deployed.
Press the rear spoiler button to manually deploy the spoiler. The button’s LED illuminates to confirm manual deployment has been selected. Press the button a second time to return the spoiler to automatic operation. The button’s LED extinguishes.
On convertible vehicles, the spoiler can only be manually deployed when the vehicle’s speed is below 60 mph (96 km/h).
On coupe vehicles, the spoiler can only be manually deployed when set to cleaning mode. See DEPLOYABLE REAR SPOILER CLEANING MODE (COUPE ONLY).
The spoiler can be manually retracted as follows:
The active rear locking differential improves traction on uneven surfaces and during oversteer situations.
The instrument panel displays a warning message should the active rear locking differential develop a fault. If a fault develops, active rear locking differential operation is not available and the TracDSC setting is automatically selected. See TRACDSC.
