So, we had some snowy days here in Lugano, and since my Contis are worn, sometimes driving in snow wasn't really easy. Terrain Response on snow and shifting to low range gears was ok, but then I recall the manual saying something about the DSC on slippery ground...

What's exactly the DSC and what it does?
Is it a good idea turning it off while driving in snow?
Thanks!

I would say that is when you want DSC. You can't turn it completely off anyway. It detects if the car gets out of shape and backs off the throttle and gently brakes bringing the car under control. The only time I switch it off is muddy conditions off road Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

As Pelyma said - here's the LR garb.

Ah ok, so it's mainly for stability during turns... Thanks!

Why using low range

Works in high or low ratio. It depends on what the ground is like as to which ratio you might choose. If it is easy gravel type tracks then high would be fine, wet grass on an incline then low would be better. HTH Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

On snow is better to drive without DSC... more fun, you can improve your driving/drifting skills  RANGE ROVER, MORE THAN A CAR, LESS THAN A KITKAT

especially with Conti summer tires...

The brave men do not need winter tyres or DSC!

















But then, it is not too impressive since the RRS is a very big, heavy and safe car. Drive in the snow with summer tyres in an original 60ies Porsche Carrera RS and I will be impressed!  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

I have Pirelli Ice & Snow... but I need them, we often drive to mountains  RANGE ROVER, MORE THAN A CAR, LESS THAN A KITKAT

Brave men need a roope asnd tractor though

That's why I am going to fit Pirelli Ice&Snow tomorrow. RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

I'd chase up your free course from the Land rover experience as well

Downhill the car was going quite fast, and every time I touched the brake, it was sliding around... With low gears, the car was going slower and was basically gently braking by itself every time I lift the foot off the pedal, resulting in a much more safer stop...


Did you try using high range but in manual mode
