Driving stability control systems
Antilock Brake System ABS
Deactivating/activating the DSC OFF
program
ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak‐
ing.
The program can be deactivated/activated via
Dynamic Driving Control, refer to page 105.
The vehicle remains steerable even during full
brake applications, thus increasing active
safety.
Indicator/warning lamps
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con‐
trols the drive forces and brake forces.
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has
failed.
Brake assistant
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system DTC Dynamic Traction
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.
Control
The concept
The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which
forward momentum is optimized.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the full braking.
The system ensures maximum forward momen‐
tum on special road conditions, e.g., unplowed
snowy roads, but driving stability is limited.
DSC Dynamic Stability
Control
It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐
ate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC un‐
der the following special circumstances:
The concept
DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels
when driving away and accelerating.

▷
▷
When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
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.
When rocking the vehicle or driving off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces.
When driving with snow chains.
Deactivating/activating DTC Dynamic
Traction Control
Adjust your driving style to the situation
The system can be deactivated/activated via the
TRACTION and SPORT+ programs of the Dy‐
namic Driving Control, refer to page 105.
An appropriate driving style is always the
responsibility of the driver.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even
with DSC.
Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety
margin by driving in a risky manner.◀
