Activating DTC
You may find it useful to briefly activate
DTC under the following special circum-
stances:
> When rocking the vehicle and starting
off in deep snow or on loose road sur-
faces
> When ascending snow-covered hills,
and when driving in deep or on hard-
packed snow
> When driving with snow chains.
Select "Settings". Select "DTC" and con-
firm. DTC is now activated. The DTC indi-
cator lamp in the Info Display lights up per-
manently.
When DTC is active, DSC provides
only limited system response up to a
speed of approx. 45 mph/70 km/h. Inter-
vention for stability enhancement is
reduced.<
Deactivating DTC again
Select "Settings". Select "DTC" and con-
firm. DTC is now deactivated. The DTC
indicator lamp in the Info Display goes out.
DSC is once again available without
restriction.
Switching off DSC
Select "Settings". Select "DSC" and con-
firm. DSC is deactivated. The indicator
lamp in the Info Display remains on contin-
uously.
Deactivating DSC automatically deacti-
vates DTC as well. The systems for
enhancing stability and traction are deacti-
vated, and there is no active braking inter-
vention or torque control.
A status report appears in the Check Con-
trol. Please take note of the additional
information on the Control Display.
To maintain optimized stability, drive
with the system on whenever possi-
ble.<
Reactivating DSC
Select "Settings". Select "DSC" and con-
firm. DSC is now activated. The indicator
lamp in the Info Display goes out.
The laws of physics cannot be
repealed, even with DSC. An appro-
priate driving style always remains the
responsibility of the driver. Avoid using the
additional safety margin provided by the
system as an excuse for taking unneces-
sary risks.
When DTC is active, DSC provides only
limited system response up to a speed of
approx. 45 mph/70 km/h. Intervention for
stability-enhancement is reduced.
Do not make any modifications to the DSC
system. Never allow anyone other than
authorized professional technicians to
carry out service or repairs on the DSC sys-
tem.<
DBC Dynamic Brake Control
When you apply the brakes rapidly, this
system automatically produces the maxi-
mum braking force boost and thus helps to
achieve the shortest possible braking dis-
tance during panic stops. This system
exploits all of the benefits provided by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake
pedal for the duration of the brake applica-
tion. When the brake pedal is released, the
DBC is deactivated.
