Antilock Brake System

DSC Dynamic Stability Control

Malfunctions

Please be absolutely sure to follow
instructions regarding possible combi-
nations of indicator lights on page 20.

The concept

DSC prevents the drive wheels from
slipping when starting off and acceler-
ating. DSC also identifies unstable driv-
ing conditions, such as a loss of trac-
tion at the rear of the vehicle or sliding
of the vehicle in its front wheels. Under
these circumstances, DSC helps the
vehicle maintain a safe course within
the physical limits by reducing the
engine output and by applying the
brakes in the individual wheels.

The DSC is operational every time you
start the engine.

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repealed, even with DSC.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

appropriate driving style always
remains the responsibility of the driver.
So please do not further limit the addi-
tional safety margin by taking unneces-
sary risks.

Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after the engine is started.

The indicator lamp flashes:
DSC is active and is regulating drive
and braking force.

The indicator lamp stays lit:
DSC has been switched off using the
button and the stabilizing interventions
are no longer available.
