To maintain vehicle stability, always drive 
with the system switched on when possi-
ble.

Reactivating DSC
Press the DSC button; the indicator lamp in the 
instrument cluster goes out.
You can also activate and deactivate DSC with 
the   button on the steering wheel, refer to 
MDrive on page
.
EDC Electronic Damping 
Control
The concept
If the influencing variables such as road surface 
quality or operating conditions such as steer-
ing, braking etc. change, the damping automat-
ically adjusts to the new conditions within a 
fraction of a second.
You can choose from three programs.
"Comfort" program
Select the "Comfort" program if you want com-
fort-oriented coordination of shock absorbers 
and steering.
"Normal" program
The "Normal" program offers a balanced mix-
ture of the comfort and the sport program.
"Sport" program
Select the "Sport" program if you want a con-
sistently sporty coordination of shock absorb-
ers and steering.
Selecting program
Press the EDC button repeatedly:
>
"Comfort": no LED lights up in the button.
>
"Normal": one LED lights up in the button.
>
"Sport": both LEDs light up in the button.
The last selected program is active each time 
the engine is started.
You can also activate your preferred program 
with the   button on the steering wheel, refer 
to MDrive on page
.
Flat Tire Monitor FTM
The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the tires as you drive. The sys-
tem provides an alert whenever the inflation 
pressure drops significantly in relation to the 
pressure in another tire.
In the event of a pressure loss, the rolling radius 
and therefore the rotation speed of the wheels 
change. This change is detected and is 
reported as a flat tire.
Functional requirement
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat 
tire, the system must be initialized for the cor-
rect tire inflation pressure.
The initialization must be repeated after 
each time the tire inflation pressure is cor-
rected and after every tire or wheel change.
