DSC – BMW 325xi, 330xi
The concept
DSC maintains vehicle stability, even in
critical driving situations.
critical driving situations.
The system enhances vehicle stability
during acceleration and when starting
up from a full stop, and optimizes trac-
tion as well. In addition, it recognizes
unstable vehicle conditions, such as
understeering or oversteering, and, as
far as is possible within the laws of
physics, helps keep the car on a steady
course by reducing the RPMs and
brake applications to the individual
wheels.

The DSC is operational every time you
start the engine. DSC contains the
functions of ADB-X and CBC, refer to

The ADB-X (automatic differential
braking) replaces the function of
conventional differential and transverse
lock through brake intervention, and
increases traction whenever conditions
merit, e.g. when driving on snow-
covered roads.

If the warning lamp does not go
out after pressing the DSC button
out after pressing the DSC button
repeatedly, then both the DSC and
ADB-X are defective. Consequently,
interventions to increase driving
stability (as described in the preceding
column) are not available.
