M Dynamic Mode
Principle
M Dynamic Mode MDM allows driving with
higher longitudinal and transverse acceleration
on dry carriageways, but with restricted driving
stability.
Only in the absolute limit of the range does the
system engage for stability purposes by reducing
the engine power and by brakes applied to the
wheels. In this driving situation, additional steer‐
ing corrections may be required.
General
When M Dynamic Mode MDM is activated, the
active M xDrive programme is: "4WD Sport".
It may be useful to activate MDM briefly in the
following exceptional situations:
▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared, snow-
covered roads.
▷ If the vehicle has to be rocked out of or star‐
ted in deep snow or on a loose surface.
▷ Driving with snow chains.
To increase driving stability, activate DSC again.
Safety note
WARNING
With M Dynamic Mode activated stabilising en‐
gagements are only carried out to a reduced
degree. There is a danger of accidents or dam‐
age to property. Adapt your driving style to the
traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situation
and intervene actively if the situation warrants it.
In the event of a warning, do not move the
steering wheel with unnecessary force.
