BMW Part-No. 01 41 0 157 628 Manual Do Utilizador

DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in 
critical driving situations.

The system optimizes vehicle stability 
during acceleration and when starting 
from a full stop, as well as optimizing 
traction. In addition, it recognizes 
unstable vehicle conditions, such as 
understeering or oversteering, and, 
within physically feasible limits, helps 
keeping the vehicle on a steady course 
by reducing the engine speed and 
brake applications to the individual 
wheels.

DSC starts up automatically each time 
you start the engine.

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repealed, even with DSC.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

results of driving irresponsibly rest with 
the driver. We therefore urge you to 
avoid using the additional safety margin 
of the system as an excuse for taking 
risks.
Do not make any modifications to the 
DSC system. Allow only authorized 
technicians to perform service proce-
dures on the DSC. At first, you may 
need some time to become accus-
tomed to this system's intervention. 
However, it guarantees optimum drive 
force and at the same time, the best 
possible vehicle stability.

<

The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster will go out shortly 
after the ignition has been 

switched on, refer to page 

.

> Indicator lamp flashes: DSC is active 

and is controlling the drive torque 
based on driving conditions

> If the indicator lamp fails to go out 

after the engine has been started, or 
if it comes on during normal driving 
and stays on: DSC has been deacti-
vated via the button or is defective.
Please consult your BMW center for 
repairs.

You can continue to drive the vehicle 
normally without DSC.
