Operation of the VSC OFF switch changes the vehicle between normal mode, TRC OFF mode and VSC OFF mode. During normal mode, pressing the VSC OFF switch for a short amount of time changes vehicle to TRC OFF mode. When the vehicle is stopped, pressing the VSC OFF switch for 3 seconds or more changes the vehicle to VSC OFF mode.

When the transfer is in L4, the VSC OFF indicator light turns on.
