DTC Dynamic TractionControl
The concept
The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which forward momentum is optimized.
The system ensures maximum forward momentum on special road conditions, e.g., unplowed snowy roads, but driving stability is limited.
It is therefore necessary to drive with appropriate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC under the following special circumstances:
► When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
► When rocking the vehicle or driving off in
deep snow or on loose surfaces.
► When driving with snow chains.
Deactivating/activating DTC Dynamic Traction Control
Activating the Dynamic Traction Control DTC provides maximum traction on loose ground.
Driving stability is limited during acceleration and when driving in bends.
Activating DTC
Press the button.
TRACTION is displayed in the instrument cluster and the indicator lamp for DSC OFF lights up.
Deactivating DTC
Press the button again.
TRACTION and the DSC OFF indicator lamp go out.
