    I did notice on the day that at odd times the DSC light would flick on momentarily (yellow triangle within a circle?).
    From memory that is either the ETC activating or ABS, bugger might have to look up in the manual,

    Regards

    Yes, but my understanding is its more about road handling/cornering and I assume it is used by the TR from rock/lose surface climbing.

    The manual says to turn it off for mud/sand.

    The DSC operates in different ways, depending upon the TR mode you're in.

    In sand it mostly uses the brakes via the ABS system. (You can generally tell you've left it on in soft sand when, right before you get bogged, you hear a growling sound).

    In mud&ruts it changes the throttle response as braking may not have the right effect.

    Fantastic! One of those things you hopefully only ever do once, and one I'll try and avoid now you've warned me.
