Deactivating DSC
output if the drive wheels experience a signifi-
cant loss of traction.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC
under the following special circumstances:
>
When driving uphill on snow-covered roads,
in slush or on unplowed, snow-covered
roads
>
>
When rocking a stuck vehicle free or start-
ing off in deep snow or on loose ground
When driving with snow chains
Press the button for at least 3 seconds; the indi-
cator lamps for DSC in the instrument cluster
light up. Dynamic Traction Control DTC and
DSC have been simultaneously deactivated.
Stabilizing and drive-output promoting actions
are no longer executed.
Activating DTC
In the same way as with a differential interlock,
even if DSC is deactivated, brake actions are
still performed on the rear axle to enhance drive
output if the drive wheels experience a signifi-
cant loss of traction.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.
Press the button; the indicator lamps for DTC in
the instrument cluster come on.

DTC Dynamic Traction Control
xDrive*
DTC is a version of DSC in which the drive out-
put is optimized for particular road conditions,
e.g. unplowed snow-covered roads. The sys-
tem assures the maximal drive output, but with
reduced driving stability. It is therefore neces-
sary to drive with appropriate caution.
xDrive is your BMW's four-wheel-drive system.
The combined efforts of xDrive and DSC help to
further optimize traction and driving dynamics.
The xDrive four-wheel-drive system distributes
driving power variably to the front and rear axles
depending on the driving situation and road
conditions.
In the same way as with a differential interlock,
even if DTC is activated, brake actions are still
performed on the rear axle to enhance drive
