Dynamic Stability Control(DSC)
The DSC automatically controls
braking and hybrid system power
output in conjunct ion with systems
such as the ABS and TCS to help
control side slip when driving on
slippery surfaces, or during sudden or
evasive steering, which enhances
vehicle stability.
Also refer to Antilock Brake System
(ABS) 5-84, Traction Control System
(TCS) 5-85.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
WARNING
Do not rely on the Dynamic Stability
Control as a substitute for safe
driving.
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving , excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), and hydroplaning
(reduced tire friction and road contact
because of water on the road surface).
You can still have an accident.
CAUTION
 Heed the following cautions so that
the DSC can operate normally.
 Always use tires of the specified
size, same manufacturer, brand,
and pattern (tread pattern) for the
front and rear wheels.
 Do not use tires with
significantly
different wear patterns on the
same vehicle.
 Do not use tires with sizes other
than the specified size, different
type, and
significantly
different
wear patterns on the same vehicle.
 When using tires where the tire
diameter is changed due to the
installation of tire chains, or when
installing an emergency spare tire,
the DSC may not operate normally.

the engine needs to be started while
the vehicle is being driven in EV
mode, the mode is switched to
NORMAL mode.
The remaining distance-to-full
discharge for EV mode may
decrease, even when the vehicle is
being driven in a mode other than
EV mode.
The maximum speed in EV mode is
140 km/h (86 mph).
