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repealed even with DSC. It will
always be the driver's responsibility to
drive in a manner that matches road
conditions. This is why you should not
use the additional safety margin the
system provides as an excuse to take
risks.
Whenever the DTC is activated, the
DSC is switched off and DTC performs
minor stabilizing intervention.
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
Press the DSC button down for at least
3 seconds; the indicator lamp and the
yellow brake warning lamp will 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.
Do not make any modifications to the
DSC system. Allow only authorized
technicians to perform service proce-
dures on the DSC.<
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 24 and cor-
rect them, if necessary
Press the button again briefly; the indi-
cator lamp or the indicator lamps will go
out. DTC is deactivated.
3.
Initialize the system.
