Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the traffic situa‐
tion correctly. Due to system limitations, it can‐
not respond independently and appropriately in
all traffic conditions. There is a risk of accident.
Adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
Observe the traffic situation and intervene ac‐
tively if the situation warrants it.
WARNING
When driving with a roof load, for example with
a roof rack, the higher centre of gravity can
mean that driving safety is no longer guaran‐
teed in critical driving situations. There is a risk
of accident or material damage. Do not deacti‐
vate Dynamic Stability Control DSC when driv‐
ing with a roof load.

Dynamic Traction Control
DTC
Principle
DTC is a variant of Dynamic Stability Control
DSC and is optimised for forward momentum.
In special road conditions, for example on un‐
cleared, snow-covered roads or on loose surfa‐
ces, the system ensures maximum forward mo‐
mentum, but with restricted driving stability.
