Stability system
Stability Traction Control (STC)/ Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC)
The stability system consists of a number of functions designed help reduce wheel spin, counteract
skidding, and to generally help improve directional stability.
NOTE: A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.
1. Standard on all models except the T5 turbo and R-models. Models equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD)
have an integrated traction control function, and are not equipped with an STC button. DSTC is optional on
AWD models.
2. Standard on the T5 turbo and R-models, option on all other models.
Traction control (TC)
This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins
to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
TC is most active at low speeds.
This is one of the STC/DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.
