Dumbest question ever...
OK, so when the "4x4" yellow light is ON, that means Im NOT in 4x4 mode, right....or wrong? Im just trying to figure out how I should drive the X in this weather...We received a somewhat unusual couple inches of the white stuff last night, melted during the day and now its like a friggin skating rink out there!...

I thought that meant DSC was either OFF or if it was flashing it meant DSC was intervening.

Indicator lamp










The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster goes out after the

engine is started.
The indicator lamp flashes:
DSC is active and governs drive and
braking force.
The indicator lamp stays lit:
DSC has been switched off using the
button and the stabilizing interventions
are no longer available.

look.

i have a DSC lamp. I don't have a 4x4 lamp guys! None of us do.

DSC is not 4x4. It is dynamic stablity control. 4x4 lamps are found on toyotas, and jeeps, and suchnot.

DSC is all wheel drive. not the same.

read this manual!

not trying to be difficult, but it is NOT a "4x4" light...............
