DSC Dynamic StabilityControl
The concept
DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels when driving away and accelerating.
DSC also recognizes unstable vehicle conditions, such as fishtailing or nose-diving. Subject to physical limits, DSC helps to keep the vehicle on a steady course by reducing engine speed and by applying brakes at individual wheels.
Adjust your driving style to the situation
An appropriate driving style is always the
responsibility of the driver.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even
with DSC.
Therefore, do not reduce the additional safety
margin by driving in a risky manner.◄
Indicator/warning lamps
The indicator lamp flashes: DSC
controls
the drive forces and brake forces.
The indicator lamp lights up: DSC has failed.
Deactivating DSC: DSC OFF
When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is reduced during acceleration and when driving in bends.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again as soon as possible.
Deactivating DSC
Press and hold the button, but
not longer
than approx. 10 seconds, until the
indicator lamp for DSC OFF lights up in the instrument
cluster and DSC OFF is displayed.
The DSC system is switched off.
Activating DSC
Press the button.
DSC OFF and the DSC OFF indicator lamp go out.
Indicator/warning lamps
When DSC is deactivated, DSC OFF is displayed in the instrument cluster.
The indicator lamp lights up:
DSC is deactivated.
