for special road conditions such as uncleared
snowy roads. The system ensures maximum
propulsion though with restricted driving stabil-
ity. You therefore need to drive with suitable

useful to briefly activate DTC:

slush, or on uncleared snowy roads

deep snow or on loose surfaces
> when driving with snow chains
