Low Speed Control*
The low-speed function, Low Speed Control (LSC), facilitates and improves control and traction on rough roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing a trailer on grass or up boat ramps.
In vehicles equipped with drive mode control*, the function is included in the Off Road drive mode.
Low Speed Control is designed for driving on rough roads and when towing trailers at low speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid wheel spin and improve traction on all wheels. The accelerator pedal will be less responsive to improve traction and speed control at low speeds.
The function is activated together with Hill Descent Control (HDC), which makes it possible to control speed going down steep hills using the accelerator pedal and reduces the need to use the brake pedal. The system makes it possible to maintain a low and uniform speed when driving down steep hills.
