Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) – 325xi, 330xi

The concept

DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in
critical driving situations.

The DSC is operational every time you
start the engine.

DSC includes the Automatic Differential
Brake (ADB-X) and Cornering Brake
Control (CBC) functions.

Indicator lamps

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

switched on; refer to page

> The indicator lamp flashes: DSC is

actively controlling drive torque and
braking intervention

> The indicator lamp stays lit: DSC has

been switched off with the button;
ADB-X is operational. ADB-X control
intervention is not indicated.

If the indicator lamp fails to go out
when you press the DSC button,

this indicates a malfunction in the DSC
and ADB-X systems; the system is
deactivated, and the stability enhance-
ment functions are no longer avail-
able.

The vehicle will remain completely
operational, however, without DSC. In
the event of a fault, please consult your
BMW center.

To deactivate DSC

Press the DSC button; the indicator
lamp comes on and stays on.

DSC is now off, and ADB-X reverts to
its maximum torque-transfer mode.

In the following exceptional circum-
stances, it may be effective to deacti-
vate the DSC for a short period:
> When rocking the vehicle or starting

off in deep snow or on loose surfaces

> When driving with snow chains.

To maintain vehicle stability,
always drive with the DSC acti-

vated whenever possible.
