circumstances.
Static bending lamps : The static bending
lamps operate when necessary, to provide an
even broader light spread.
Cornering lamps : At speeds up to 40 km/h
(25 mph), to provide improved visibility at
junctions, the system switches on the lamp if it
has received an input from the vehicle's
direction indicator. Only the lamp on the same
side as the operating indicator illuminates. The
lamp will self cancel after 3 minutes of
continuous operation.
WINDSCREEN WIPER DETECTION
This function only operates when autolamps is
selected. The side lamps, tail lamps and
headlamps will switch on automatically if the
windscreen wipers are switched on for 20
seconds or more. Once the windscreen wipers

Stability control
83
Stability controlWINTER MODE
Winter mode optimises stability of the vehicle
to suit slippery conditions, when grip is
reduced. This helps the vehicle to perform in a
more gentle and controlled manner, to avoid
skidding, allowing more confident progress
under adverse conditions.
Note: Winter mode cannot be active at the
same time as Dynamic m ode. Winter mode will
remain selected indefinitely, even after the
ignition is switched off. Winter mode must be
deselected if no longer required.
DYNAMIC MODE
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode and Dynamic mode is
selected, transmission upshifts are fully
controlled by the driver . The transmission will
not change up automatically, even when the rev
limit is reached (the ge ar position indicator in
the message centre will gl ow amber, to indicate
that the next gear should be selected).
Note: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the
same time as Winter mode. Dynamic mode will
remain selected for approximately six hours
after the ignition is switched off, after which
point it will need to be reselected if required.
TRACDSC
Vehicle safety may be reduced by
inappropriate use of of Trac DSC. Trac
DSC should only be used in suitable
conditions.
Trac DSC is an alternative setting of DSC, with
reduced system interventions. With Trac DSC
engaged, traction may be increased, although
stability may be reduced compared to normal
DSC. Trac DSC is intended for use only on dry
tarmac, by suitably experienced drivers. Trac
DSC should not be selected for other surfaces
or by drivers with insuff icient skill and training
to operate the vehicle safely with Trac DSC
function engaged.
Press to operate. Designed for use
in slippery conditions, when
active, Winter mode selects 2nd
gear for driving away on level
ground (no incline), softens the
responsiveness of the engine and
modifies the gear change strategy.
This helps ensure that optimum
traction is maintained.
Press to operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience.
This setting enhances key vehicle
systems so that the vehicle's full
potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at
involving the driver more in
focused and purposeful driving.
