Technology for driving comfort and safety

Driving stability control

systems

Contrary to the description in the Owner's Man-

ual for Vehicle, your BMW M 3 is not equipped

with Dynamic Traction Control DTC.

Dynamic Stability Control DSC

DSC optimizes driving stability and traction. In

addition, the system recognizes unstable driv-

ing situations such as understeering and over-

steering, and helps keep the vehicle on a safe

course within physical limits by reducing engine

power and applying the brakes on individual

wheels.

The laws of physics cannot be repealed,

even with DSC. An appropriate driving

style always remains the responsibility of the

driver. Therefore, do not reduce the additional

safety margin again by taking risks, as this could

result in an accident.<

M Dynamic Mode MDM*

M Dynamic Mode is a mode of the Dynamic

Stability Control DSC that permits greater lon-

gitudinal and lateral acceleration when driving

on dry surfaces, yet with reduced driving stabil-

ity. Only at the absolute limit of stability does

the system intervene to stabilize the vehicle by

reducing engine power and applying the brakes

on the wheels. In such situations, additional

corrective steering maneuvers may be neces-

sary.

M Dynamic Mode is switched off every time the

engine is started.

When the M Dynamic Mode is on, stabi-

lizing measures are performed to a limited

degree only. Take action yourself, otherwise

there is a risk of an accident.<

To maintain vehicle stability, drive with

the DSC activated and the

M Dynamic Mode deactivated whenever possi-

ble.<

Activating MDM

When the ignition is on, you can set the

M Dynamic Mode via M Drive on the Control

Display.

1. "Settings"

2. "M Drive"

3. "DSC:"

4. Select "M Dynamic Mode".

Press the button on the steering wheel, refer

to M Drive on page 21. M Drive is opened with

the settings you selected.

The MDM indicator lamp in the instrument clus-

ter lights up.

Observe the DSC settings in M Drive;

otherwise, driving stability may be

impaired and there is the risk of an accident.<

Deactivating MDM

Press the button on the steering wheel

again; MDM and the settings selected under

M Drive are deactivated. The MDM indicator

lamp in the instrument cluster goes out.

For better control

The indicator lamp goes out briefly after

the engine is started.

If the indicator lamp lights up:

M Dynamic Mode is activated.

The indicator lamp lights up perma-

nently and the DSC indicator lamp

flashes: M Dynamic Mode is control-

ling the drive and braking forces.
