Test Drive Form (DSTC)

Test Drive Form (DSTC), description

Note: To test drive the ABS/STC/TRACS functions, see: Test Drive Form (ABS, STC, TRACS), description.

Warning Problems with the brakes may make the car difficult to maneuver. Always test drive cars under safe, controlled conditions. Follow the appropriate traffic and speed regulations.

Test driving

Note: Drive where other traffic will not be disrupted.





If work is carried out on any vital component in the DSTC system, (brake control module (BCM) or body sensor cluster stability sensor (BSC)), the car must first be calibrated and then test driven. Calibrating is carried out using VIDA vehicle communication or according to the last description in this document. When calibrating in the workshop, position the car on a flat surface with the wheels pointing forward. With the ignition turned on, turn the steering wheel at least 15° to the right or left. Then turn the steering wheel to the center position and start the calibration. The test drive must include at least one right and one left turn (more than 45°), cover at least 100 meters and a braking from 50 km/h to a standstill. The car has passed the test if the dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC) system does not light any lamps (the ABS warning lamp (1), the stop (brake) warning lamp (2) or the traction control warning lamp (4)). Calibrate and test drive as above if any work that may have affected the steering and/or the wheel alignment (straight ahead position) has been carried out.
