Brake assistant
With the M Dynamic Mode activated, sta-
bilizing interventions are only carried out
to a reduced degree. Take action yourself, oth-
erwise there is a risk of an accident.<
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the maximum braking
force boost and thus helps to achieve the short-
est possible braking distance during full brak-
ing. This system exploits all of the benefits pro-
vided by ABS.
To maintain vehicle stability, drive with
DSC activated and the M Dynamic Mode
deactivated whenever possible.<
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the full braking.
Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp goes out shortly
after the engine is started.
DSC Dynamic Stability Control
The indicator lamp stays lit: M Dynamic
Mode is activated.
The indicator lamp lights up continuously and
the DSC indicator lamp flashes: the M Dynamic
Mode is active and controls the drive and brak-
ing forces.
DSC optimizes vehicle stability and traction. It
also detects unstable driving states such as
understeering and oversteering, and helps
keep the vehicle on course within the physical
limits by reducing the engine output and by
braking at the wheels.
The DSC is operational every time you start the
engine.
Activating MDM
You activate the M Dynamic Mode with the
button on the steering wheel, refer to MDrive on
page 50.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed,
even with DSC. An appropriate driving
style always remains the responsibility of the
driver. Therefore, do not reduce the additional
safety margin further by taking risks.<
With the ignition switched on you can set
MDrive on the Control Display.
iDrive, for explanation of principle, refer to
page 16.

M Dynamic Mode MDM
Select "M Dynamic Mode" and press the
controller.
The M Dynamic Mode is a mode of the DSC
Dynamic Stability Control. It enables driving
with greater longitudinal and lateral accelera-
tion on dry road surfaces, however with limited
vehicle stability. The system does not provide
stabilizing intervention by reducing the engine
output and braking at the wheels until the abso-
lute driving limit is reached. Additional steering
corrections may also be required in this driving
state.

logic:
The M Dynamic Mode is deactivated each time
the engine is started.
