ASC+T/DSC*
Automatic Stability Control plus
Traction (ASC+T)/Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC)
*
These systems contribute to additional
vehicle stability, especially during
acceleration and when cornering.
The DSC system enhances the benefits
of the ASC+T. In addition to optimizing
vehicle stability and traction during
acceleration or when starting from a
standstill, a further benefit is realized in
cornering. This, of course, is true only
within physically feasible limits.
The system activates automatically
each time you start the engine.
To deactivate the system
Press the button (arrow). The indicator
lamp will come on.
Depending on equipment options, the
button is marked with ASC or DSC.
With deactivated ASC+T/DSC you are
driving with conventional, unregulated
torque transfer.
In the following exceptional situations,
it may be effective to deactivate the
ASC+T/DSC for a brief period:
> When rocking the vehicle or starting
off in deep snow or on loose sur-
faces.
> When driving with snow chains.

ment cluster goes out shortly

Indicator lamp flashes:
The system is active and governs drive
and braking forces.
If the indicator lamp fails to go out after
the engine is started, or if it comes on
during normal driving:
There is a system malfunction or the
system was deactivated with the but-
ton. You can still drive the vehicle
normally without ASC+T/DSC. Please
consult your BMW center for repairs.
