Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety
margin by driving in a risky manner.◀
Deactivating DSC
Press and hold this button but not lon‐
ger than approx. 10 seconds, until the
indicator lamp for DSC OFF lights up in the in‐
strument cluster and displays DSC OFF.
Do not deactivate DSC when driving with

Do not deactivate Dynamic Stability Control
DSC when driving with roof load, e.g. roof-
mounted luggage rack.
The DSC system is switched off.
The steering and, depending on the equip‐
ment, suspension are tuned for sporty driving.
Otherwise, driving safety is not given in driv‐
ing-critical situation due to the elevated center

When DSC is deactivated, DSC OFF is dis‐
played in the instrument cluster.

The concept
Indicator/warning lights
The DTC system is a version of the DSC where
forward momentum is optimized.
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con‐
trols the drive and braking forces.
The system ensures maximum headway on
special road conditions or loose road surfaces,
e.g., unplowed snowy roads, but with some‐
what limited driving stability.
The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has
failed.
Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF
Activating the Dynamic Traction Control DTC
provides maximum traction. Driving stability is
limited during acceleration and when driving in
curves.
When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is
reduced during acceleration and when driving
in curves.
Stabilizing interventions by the Integral Active
Steering system are only performed by the
rear axle steering.
Therefore drive with appropriate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC
under the following special circumstances:
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC
again as soon as possible.

walking speed.
When driving with snow chains.
Hill Descent Control can be activated at
speeds below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When
driving downhill, the vehicle reduces its speed
to approx. walking speed and then keeps its
speed constant.

As long as there is active braking, the system
is on standby. The system does not brake the
vehicle during this time.

If DTC is activated, TRACTION is displayed in
the instrument cluster.
The indicator lamp lights up: DTC Dy‐

xDrive
xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your ve‐
hicle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC
further optimize traction and driving dynamics.
The xDrive all-wheel-drive system variably dis‐
tributes the drive forces to the front and rear
axles as demanded by the driving situation and
road surface.
