as fishtailing or sliding of the vehicle's front 
wheels. In these cases, DSC helps the vehicle 
safely stay on course within the physical limits 
by reducing the engine output and by applying 
the brakes in the individual wheels.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, 
even with DSC. An appropriate driving 
style always remains the responsibility of the 
driver. Do not squander your added margin of 
safety by driving dangerously; otherwise you 
run the risk of causing an accident.

DTC Dynamic Traction Control
DTC is a version of DSC that is optimized for 
forward momentum in special road conditions. 
The system ensures maximum forward 
momentum, but with limited driving stability. 
Therefore, drive with appropriate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC 
under the following special circumstances:
>
When driving on snow-covered uphill 
grades, in slushy snow or on uncleared, 
snow-covered roads
>
When rocking a stuck vehicle free or when 
starting off in deep snow or on loose ground
>
When driving with snow chains
