REALLY, DUDE!?? Do you think traction is like a light switch, either you have the maximum or you have none at all? What if that sudden elevation change took off...oh, I don't know...about 3000 pounds of weight off those tires, which would still have them in contact with the ground? Do you really think the DSC is designed to accomodate that!?

You might want to examine the basics of traction and know what the DSC is designed to do before YOU find yourself in the same situation.

Have you ever tried pushing DSC to the limit ? IT does an amazing job of keeping you in line . I would go as far as to say it is almost impossible to spin out with DSC enguaged - unless of course all 4 wheels were off the ground as it started to rotate ......
