Driving stability control systems
Controls
Activating HDC
Dynamic Drive
The concept
The system reduces the lateral inclination of
the vehicle that occurs during rapid driving in
curves or during quick evasive maneuvers.
Driving stability and driving comfort are in‐
creased under all driving conditions. The sys‐
tem utilizes active stabilizer bars on the front
and rear axles that react immediately to all driv‐
ing situations.
Press button; the LED above the button
lights up.
Programs
The system offers two different programs.
Deactivating HDC
Select the programs via the Driving Dynamics
Control, refer to page 138.
Press button again and the LED goes
out. HDC is automatically deactivated
above approx. 37 mph/60 km/h.
SPORT
Sporty tuning for greater driving agility.
Display in the instrument cluster
COMFORT
Comfort-oriented tuning for optimal comfort.
The selected speed is displayed
in the speedometer.
▷
Green: the system is actively
braking the vehicle.
Dynamic Damping Control
▷
Orange: the system is on
standby.
The concept
This system reduces undesirable vehicle mo‐
tion when using a dynamic driving style or trav‐
eling on uneven road surfaces.
Malfunction
A message is displayed in the instrument clus‐
ter. HDC is not available, e.g., due to elevated
brake temperatures.
The system enhances driving dynamics and
comfort fitting road surface and driving style.
Programs
The system offers several different programs.
Adaptive Drive
Select the programs via the Driving Dynamics
Control, refer to page 138.
The concept
Adaptive Drive includes the following systems:
▷
▷
Dynamic Drive, refer to page 137.
SPORT/SPORT+

2. Have the system checked if the warning
lamp does not go out after moving the
steering wheel approx. 6 times or if the
steering wheel is at an angle.
COMFORT/ECO PRO
Balanced tuning.
COMFORT+
Comfort-oriented tuning of the shock absorb‐
ers for optimal traveling comfort.
Using snow chains
Note
When snow chains are in use, refer to
page 211, rear wheel steering is deactivated.
Integral Active Steering
The concept
Integral Active Steering is a combination of Ac‐
tive Steering and rear axle steering.
Programs
The system offers several different programs.
Select the programs via the Driving Dynamics
Control, refer to page 138.
Active Steering varies the steering angle of the
wheels in relation to the steering wheel move‐
ment as a function of the speed.
SPORT
At speeds up to approx. 37 mph/60 km/h, e.g.,
in curves, the steering angle is increased, i.e.,
steering becomes more direct.
Consistently sporty tuning of the Integral Ac‐
tive Steering for greater driving agility.
The rear axle steering acts to increase maneu‐
verability by turning the rear wheels slightly in
a direction opposite to the front wheels.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, the steering
wheel must be turned further, while the vehicle
responds more sensitively to steering wheel
movements in the higher speed range.
At higher speeds, the steering angle is increas‐
ingly reduced.
The rear wheels are turned to the same angle
as the front wheels.
The stability-enhancing intervention may be
deactivated.
In critical situations, Integral Active Steering
can specifically steer the front and rear wheels
to stabilize the vehicle before the driver inter‐
venes, e.g., when braking where road condi‐
tions differ on the left and right sides of the ve‐
hicle.
Proceed cautiously and drive defensively.
Have the system checked.
Driving Dynamics Control
The concept
Initializing
The Driving Dynamics Control can be used to
adjust the driving dynamics of the vehicle. For
this purpose various programs are available for
selection that are activated via the two buttons
of the Driving Dynamics Control and the DSC
OFF-button.
In rare cases, it may become necessary to initi‐
alize the Integral Active Steering.
The warning lamp lights up. A Check
Control message is displayed.
1. With the engine running, turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left and right sev‐
eral times in a uniform manner until the
warning lamp disappears.
