VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) applies proportional braking in hard cornering to keep the vehicle more stable in corners so it doesn't have as much body roll thus resulting in a roll-over.

LSD (Limited Slip Differential) allows the rear axle to act as a normal open differential in normal situations, but can progressivly lock the rear wheels together for better traction in low traction conditions such as on ice or snow.

Both can be turned off if you hold down the VSC button for I think its 5 seconds it will turn off the VSC and LSD.
