thus helps to achieve the shortest possible 
braking distance during full braking maneuvers. 
This system exploits all of the benefits provided 
by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal 
for the duration of the full braking.

DSC optimizes vehicle stability and traction. It 
also detects unstable driving states such as 
understeering and oversteering, and helps 
keep the vehicle on course within the physical 
limits by reducing the engine output and by 
braking at the wheels.
The DSC is operational every time you start the 
engine.

The laws of physics cannot be repealed, 
even with DSC. An appropriate driving 

style always remains the responsibility of the 
driver. Therefore, do not reduce the additional 
safety margin further by taking risks.

The indicator lamp goes out shortly

The indicator lamp flashes: DSC con-

trols the drive forces and brake forces. 
The indicator lamp stays lit: DSC is deactivated.

The M Dynamic Mode is a mode of the DSC 
Dynamic Stability Control. It enables driving 
with greater longitudinal and lateral accelera-
tion on dry road surfaces, however with limited 
vehicle stability. The system does not provide 
stabilizing intervention by reducing the engine 
output and braking at the wheels until the abso-
lute driving limit is reached. Steering correc-
tions by the driver may also be required in this 
driving state.
The M Dynamic Mode is deactivated each time 
the engine is started.

With the M Dynamic Mode activated, sta-
bilizing interventions are only carried out 

to a reduced degree.

To maintain vehicle stability, drive with 
DSC activated and the M Dynamic Mode 

deactivated whenever possible.

The indicator lamp goes out shortly

tor lamp stays lit: M Dynamic Mode is 

activated. 
The indicator lamp lights up continuously and 
the DSC indicator lamp flashes: the M Dynamic 
Mode is active and controls the drive and brak-
ing forces.

You activate the M Dynamic Mode with the   
button on the steering wheel, refer to MDrive on 
page

With the ignition switched on you can change 
the settings of MDrive on the Control Display.
