I won't touch the understeer data since I see I've never had interference from understeer, and the car just doesn't want to understeer. The oversteer data is what made the DSC functions more into a 3-mode system. It's super easy to drive, and a joy in low traction situations with the DSC light on.
You are supposed to drive in "traction control" mode in "low traction" conditions. Give the DSC button a single click.
And having more slip allowed lets you maintain forward momentum. The DTC didn't let much-if any-slip happen, and killed momentum. I still have the normal mode for normal driving, but the added slip is a huge help in slippery situations, and it leaves more safety net than everything off (stability control simply intervenes later and less aggressively).
