DSC  BMW 325xi, 330xi, 330xd
The principle
Dynamic Stability Control DSC is
designed to maintain driving stability in
critical situations.
The DSC system is in operation when-
ever the engine has been started.
DSC incorporates the functions of
Automatic Differential Brake ADB-X and
Cornering Brake Control CBC.
You will find further details on DSC in
the "Technical items of interest" bro-
chure.
Telltale light
The telltale light in the instru-
ment cluster goes out shortly
after the ignition is switched on,
see page 19.
If the telltale light flashes:
DSC is controlling drive and braking
forces.
If the telltale light remains permanently
on:
The button has been pressed to deacti-
vate DSC; ADB-X is ready.
There is no indicator to show when
ADB-X is in action.
If the telltale light does not go out
the next time you press the DSC
button, DSC and ADB-X are defective
and the stabilising functions are no
longer at your disposal.
<
Note, however, that the vehicle remains
operational without DSC. If a fault
develops you should consult BMW
Service as soon as possible.
Switching off DSC
Press the DSC button: the telltale light
remains permanently on.
DSC is deactivated, ADB-X is parame-
terised for maximum forward momen-
tum.
You may find it advisable to deactivate
DSC temporarily under the following
exceptional circumstances:
>
If the car has to be rocked out of a
hollow or a soft surface, or started in
deep snow or on a loose surface
>
If snow chains are fitted.
In order to maintain maximum
driving stability, you should drive
with the DSC system activated when-
ever possible.
