What are the functional uses of Auto LSD and VSC? My understanding is Auto LSD on allows tires on the same axle to spin independently of each other. And VSC off so the computer does not try to correct certain actions with the wheels. More feedback please as this is very basic and I want to know when to turn them off and why. Thanks!

Going strictly off memory from when I bought my truck I know one of these, cant remember which is to turn on when you are climbing and such, which deactivates your side airbags. The salesman told me that if the truck is at certain angles it can cause your side air bags to activate...I never took the time to read my manual, maybe I should, lol...LSD is that shit that the hippies were on in the 60's.

Ha! So I have the manual and I'm reading but I can't focus so well b/c I'm still screwed up with the multiple time zones. Quoting the definitions: Auto LSD = aids traction by using the traction control system to control engine performance and braking when only one of the rear wheels beings to spin. VSC = provides integrated control of systems such as the ABS, traction control, engine control, etc.....automatically controls the output of the brakes or engine to help prevent skidding when cornering or on a slipper road surface...or when the sterring wheel is operated abruptly. My VSC light is the one that will come on when cornering/turning with the lift. Makes sense! So basically LSD kicks in when one of the rear wheels goes bonkers but VSC kicks in if the body weight rolls or jars abruptly while turning. Got it! I edumacated my ownself. Now that's grammar at it's best.

Yeah, you guessed it. Man, if I were I wouldn't take it just because I don't think I've ever struggled with a class this early in a semester.

Just try to think of a way that you'd ever actually use it in life.....how did it factor into some specs for the Tundra....might make life more bearable.
