AND slip control logic on the same wheel at the same time.
*I* am not assuming anything, but rather merely asserting that the PDF document does NOT "specifically state this new electronic LSD is only active when you completely turn off DSC."

Furthermore, DSC and "slip control logic" (I presume you mean the EDL function) *CAN* operate in tandem, as they have been doing so on Audi vehicles for years.

I can state with relative certainty that the EDL will be active whether DSC is on or not. The PDF merely states that it is active when DSC is off as a FEATURE - to show that the torque will still be distributed to the wheel with traction even when DSC is off (IE being driven by an enthusiast, perhaps at the track). It's a good thing.
