Under these special circumstances 
traction is increased by deactivating the 
control systems that enhance traction 
under normal conditions.
Deactivating the DSC and the 
DTC
Hold the DSC button down for at least 
3 seconds. The indicator lamp and the 
yellow brake warning lamp light up and 
remain on continuously.
The systems for enhancing stability and 
traction are deactivated, and there is no 
active braking intervention or torque 
control.
To maintain vehicle stability, 
always drive with the DSC acti-
vated whenever possible.
<
Reactivating the DSC
Press the button again; the indicator 
lamp or the indicator lamps will go out. 
DTC is deactivated.
The laws of physics cannot be 
repealed even with DSC. An 
appropriate driving style always 
remains the responsibility of the driver. 
We therefore urge you to avoid using 
the additional safety margin of the sys-
tem as an excuse for taking risks.
Whenever the DTC is activated, the 
DSC is switched off and performs minor 
stabilizing intervention.
Do not make any modifications to the 
DSC system. Allow only authorized 
technicians to perform service proce-
dures on the DSC.

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.
The system actually detects pressure 
loss by monitoring differences in the 
relative speeds of the four wheels. It 
interprets variations outside specified 
limits as severe pressure loss, and then 
responds by generating a warning.
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 
rect them, if necessary
3. Initialize the system.
