The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driving conditions.

To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF switch. The indicator will illuminate.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the engine to turn on the system. (See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system” in the “5.
