Driving stability control systems
Antilock Brake System ABS
Adjust your driving style to the situation
An appropriate driving style is always the
responsibility of the driver.
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak‐
ing.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even
with DSC.
The vehicle remains steerable even during full
brake applications, thus increasing active
safety.
Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety
margin by driving in a risky manner.◀
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
Indicator/warning lamps
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con‐
trols the drive forces and brake forces.
Brake assistant
The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has
failed.
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the maximum braking
force boost. It thus helps to achieve the shortest
possible braking distance during full braking.
This system utilizes all of the benefits provided
by ABS.
Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF
When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is re‐
duced during acceleration and when driving in
bends.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the full braking.
Stabilizing interventions by the Integral Active
Steering* system are only performed by the rear
axle steering.
Adaptive brake assistant
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.
In combination with the Active Cruise Control,
this system ensures that the brakes respond
even more rapidly when braking in critical situa‐
tions. Refer also to Collision warning, refer to
page 107.
Deactivating DSC
Press and hold the button, but not lon‐
ger than approx. 10 seconds, until the
indicator lamp for the DSC lights up in the in‐
strument cluster and DSC OFF is displayed in
the tachometer.
DSC Dynamic Stability
Control
The DSC system is switched off.
The concept
Activating DSC
DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels
when driving away and accelerating.
Press the button.
DSC OFF and the DSC indicator lamp
go out.
DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle condi‐
tions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Subject
to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle
on a steady course by reducing engine speed
and by applying brakes at individual wheels.
Indicator/warning lamps
When DSC is deactivated, DSC OFF is dis‐
played in the tachometer.
