Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
Flat Tire Monitor*
Under these special circumstances
traction is increased by deactivating the
control systems that enhance traction
under normal conditions.
The laws of physics cannot be
The concept
repealed even with DSC. An
appropriate driving style always
remains the responsibility of the driver.
We therefore urge you to avoid using
the additional safety margin of the sys-
tem as an excuse for taking risks.
Whenever the DTC is activated, the
DSC is switched off and performs minor
stabilizing intervention.
Do not make any modifications to the
DSC system. Allow only authorized
technicians to perform service proce-
dures on the DSC.<
As you drive, the Flat Tire Monitor
keeps track of pressure levels in all four
tires. The system alerts you whenever
the inflation pressure of a tire falls sig-
nificantly below the pressure of another
tire.
Deactivating the DSC and the
DTC
Hold the DSC button down for at least
3 seconds. The indicator lamp and the
yellow brake warning lamp light up and
remain on continuously.
The system actually detects pressure
loss by monitoring differences in the
relative speeds of the four wheels. It
interprets variations outside specified
limits as severe pressure loss, and then
responds by generating a warning.
The systems for enhancing stability and
traction are deactivated, and there is no
active braking intervention or torque
control.
Functional requirements
In order for the Flat Tire Monitor to learn
the correct tire inflation pressure,
please do the following:
To maintain vehicle stability,
always drive with the DSC acti-
vated whenever possible.<
1.
Check the tire inflation pressures in
all tires
Reactivating the DSC
2.
Compare them with the tire inflation
pressure table on page 25 and cor-
rect them, if necessary
Press the button again; the indicator
lamp or the indicator lamps will go out.
DTC is deactivated.
3.
Initialize the system.
