To deactivate the system
Press the button; the indicator lamp 
comes on and stays on.
The vehicle does not execute the stabil-
ity-enhancement and traction-control 
functions when DSC is deactivated.
We recommend that you deactivate the 
system for increased traction:
> When rocking the vehicle or starting 
off in deep snow or on loose surfaces
> When driving with snow chains
> When driving on snow-covered 
grades, in deep snow, or on a snow-
covered surface that has been 
packed down from being driven on.
To maintain vehicle stability, 
always drive with the system 
switched on whenever possible.

To reactivate the system
Press the button again; the indicator 
lamp goes out.
Flat Tire Monitor
The concept
As you drive, the Flat Tire Monitor 
keeps track of pressure levels in all four 
tires. The system alerts you whenever 
the inflation pressure of a tire falls sig-
nificantly below the pressure of another 
tire.
Controlling the tire pressure is based 
on monitoring the rpm that the tires 
have relative to each other. A flat tire is 
detected and reported because the rpm 
suddenly deviate drastically from one 
another.
Functional requirements
In order for the Flat Tire Monitor to learn 
the correct tire inflation pressure, 
please do the following:
1. Check the tire inflation pressures in 
all tires
2. Compare them with the tire inflation 
pressure table on page 
 and cor-
rect them, if necessary
3. Initialize the system.
