M Dynamic Mode
Principle
M Dynamic Mode allows a ride with high longi-
tudinal and lateral acceleration but with limited
driving stability.
Only in the absolute limit range does the sys-
tem intervene for stabilization by reducing the
engine power and by brake interventions on
the wheels. In this driving condition, additional
steering corrections may be necessary.
General information
Depending on vehicle equipment, the active
M xDrive mode is: "4WD SPORT" when M Dy-
namic Mode is activated.
You may find it useful to briefly activate the
system under the following special circumstan-
