Brake assistant

When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system
automatically produces the maximum braking
force boost and thus helps to achieve the short-
est possible braking distance during full brak-
ing. This system exploits all of the benefits pro-
vided by ABS.
Do not reduce the pressure on the brake pedal
for the duration of the full braking.

DSC Dynamic Stability Control

DSC prevents traction loss in the driving wheels
when starting off and accelerating. The system
also identifies unstable driving conditions, such
as a loss of traction at the rear of the vehicle or
sliding of the vehicle in its front wheels. In these
cases, DSC helps the vehicle maintain a safe
course within physical limits by reducing engine
output and through braking actions in the indi-
vidual wheels.

The laws of physics cannot be repealed,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

style remains the responsibility of the driver.
Therefore, do not restrict the additional safety
margin with a risky driving style, as otherwise
there is a risk of an accident.

Deactivating DSC

Press the button until the DSC indicator lamp in
the instrument panel lights up, but not longer
than approx. 10 seconds. DTC Dynamic Trac-
tion Control and DSC are deactivated together.
Stabilizing interventions are now not carried
out.
A message appears on the Control Display.
Please note any supplementary information
that appears there.

To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.

Activating DSC

Press the button; the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel goes out.

For better control

The indicator lamp flashes:
DSC controls the drive forces and
brake forces.
The indicator lamps light up:
DSC is deactivated.

DTC Dynamic Traction Control

DTC is a version of DSC in which the drive out-
put is optimized for particular road conditions,
e.g. unplowed snow-covered roads. The sys-
tem assures the maximal drive output, but with
reduced driving stability. It is therefore neces-
sary to drive with appropriate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC
under the following special circumstances:

When driving in sand, on snowy inclines, in
slush or on unplowed, snow-covered road
surfaces

When rocking a stuck vehicle free or start-
ing off in deep snow, sand or on loose
ground

When driving with snow chains

Activating DTC

Press the button briefly; the DTC indicator lamp
in the instrument panel lights up.
