I had my winter tires on from last year, so I was running DTC and DSC on. If the day wasn't so crazy, I would have liked to try it again with both shut off.

What is the difference between DSC and DTC? and how do you have them both on at the same time. Usually when I press that button about DSC it complains about something being off I assume DTC?

DSC = Stability control, reduces power if you car starts to go sideways
By default both are on when you start up.
When you press the button once it turns off traction control. This has some effect on stability control so that's why you see the message on the screen. To turn off both you have to hold the button down for more than 3 seconds.
I only had traction control off since I didn't want to worry about going sideways on those roads!

You really realize how powerful these cars are. You can smoke the tires at will.
