Dynamic Traction Control
Principle
The Dynamic Traction Control is a variant
of the Driving Stability Control where the
drive power is optimized.
The system ensures maximum drive power
on unusual road conditions, for instance
unplowed snow covered roads, or loose road
surfaces, but with somewhat limited driving
stability.
When the Dynamic Traction Control is acti-
vated, there is maximum traction. Driving
stability is limited during acceleration and
when cornering.
Drive carefully.
A brief activation of the Dynamic Traction
Control may be useful in the following ex-
ceptional situations:
– When driving in slush or on uncleared,
snow-covered roads.
– When driving off from deep snow or
loose ground.
– When driving with snow chains.
