If you see the message "DSC OFF" on your Mazda3, it means that the Dynamic Stability Control feature is deactivated. Essentially, this system helps to reduce wheel spin while driving. For example, if you're driving in mud or snow and you suddenly press hard on the accelerator, the wheels may spin excessively. When DSC is turned on, the engine power is controlled to prevent excessive wheel spin, which can make it challenging to free your vehicle from difficult conditions. You can usually disable DSC using a small button, perhaps when you need more wheel spin for tasks like clearing snow or engaging in drag racing – within legal limits, of course!
