failed.
Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF
ABS is operational every time you start the en‐
gine.
When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is re‐
duced during acceleration and when driving in
bends.
Brake assistant
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.
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
Press and hold the button, but not lon‐
ger than approx. 10 seconds, until the
indicator lamp for DSC lights up in the instru‐
ment cluster and DSC OFF is displayed.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the full braking.
The DSC system is switched off.
Activating DSC
DSC Dynamic Stability
Control
Press the button.
DSC OFF and the DSC indicator lamp
go out.
The concept
DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels
when driving away and accelerating.
Indicator/warning lamps
When DSC is deactivated, DSC OFF is dis‐
played in the instrument cluster.
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.
The indicator lamp lights up: DSC is de‐
activated.

DTC Dynamic Traction
Control
An appropriate driving style is always the
responsibility of the driver.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even
with DSC.
The concept
The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which
forward momentum is optimized.
Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety
margin by driving in a risky manner.◀
