Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

The concept

DSC helps maintain vehicle stability,

even in critical driving situations.

The system optimizes vehicle stability

during acceleration and when starting

from a full stop, as well as optimizing

traction. In addition, the system recog-

nizes unstable vehicle conditions

(understeering or oversteering in

curves, for example) and holds the

vehicle on course by intervening via the

engine and by braking intervention at

the individual wheels within the limits

defined by the laws of physics.

The system starts up automatically

each time you start the engine.

The laws of physics cannot be

repealed, even with DSC. The

results of driving irresponsibly rest with

the driver. We therefore urge you to

avoid using the additional safety margin

of the system as an excuse for taking

risks. Do not make any modifications to

the DSC system. Service procedures

on the system are to be performed by

authorized technicians only.<

You will find additional details

concerning DSC in the chapter

"Advanced technology" on page 170.

Indicator lamp

The indicator lamp on the instru-

ment cluster will go out shortly

after the ignition has been

switched on. Refer to page 21.

> Indicator lamp flashes: the system is

active and is controlling the drive

torque based on driving conditions

> If the indicator lamp fails to go out

after the engine has been started, or

if it comes on during normal driving

and stays on: there is a system

malfunction or the system was deac-

tivated with the button. You can

continue to drive the vehicle

normally, but without DSC. Please

consult your BMW center for repairs.

To deactivate the system

Press the button – the indicator lamp

comes on and stays on.

When DSC is deactivated, you are

driving with conventional power

transfer.

We recommend that you turn the

system off for increased traction:

> When rocking the vehicle or starting

off in deep snow or on loose surfaces

> When driving with snow chains.

Refer also to page 110.

To help maintain driving stability,

drive with the DSC activated

whenever possible.<

To reactivate the system

Press the button again; the indicator

lamp goes out.
