information
When DSC is deactivated, driving stability is rej duced during acceleration and when driving incurves.
To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again as soon as possible.

indicator light for DSC OFF lights up in the inj strument cluster and displays DSC OFF.
DSC is switched off.
The steering and, depending on the equipment,
suspension are tuned for sporty driving.

DTC
Dynamic
Traction Control
Concept DTC is a version of the DSC Dynamic Stability
Control where forward momentum is optimized.
The system ensures maximum headway on spej
cial road conditions or loose road surfaces, for inj
stance unplowed snowy roads, but with somej
what limited driving stability.
When DTC is activated, the vehicle has maxij
mum traction. Driving stability is limited during
acceleration and when driving in curves.
Drive carefully.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC unj
der the following special circumstances:
'xWhen driving in slush or on uncleared, snow- covered roads.'xWhen driving off from deep snow or looseground.'xWhen driving with snow chains.Seite 171Driving

xDrive
xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of your vehij
cle. Concerted action by the xDrive and DSC Dyj namic Stability Control further optimizes traction
and driving dynamics. The xDrive all-wheel-drive
system variably distributes the drive forces to the
front and rear axles as demanded by the driving
situation and road surface.
Adaptive
chassis
Concept
This system reduces undesirable vehicle motion
when using a dynamic driving style or traveling on uneven road surfaces.
This enhances the driving dynamics and driving
comfort depending on the road surface condition
and driving style.
Programs
The system offers several different programs.
The programs can be selected via Driving Dyj
namics Control.
SPORT
Consistently sporty control of the shock absorbj ers for greater driving agility.
SPORT+
Consistently sporty control of the shock absorbj
ers for greater driving agility when driving with limited driving stabilization.
COMFORT/ECO
PRO
Balanced control of the vehicle.
Variable
sport
steering
The support offered by the variable sport steerj ing changes according to the angle by which thesteering wheel has been turned and the speed.
So, for instance the steering angle of the front
wheels is made larger when parking or taking tight corners. This makes it easier to drive
around bends.
Furthermore, the system provides the steering
with more support at low speeds than at higher
ones. This makes it easier to park, for instance, and makes steering more direct when driving at
faster speeds.
By taking the angle by which the steering wheel has been turned and the speed into account, a
sporty steering response adapted to the particuj lar driving situation can be achieved.
Driving
Dynamics
Control
Concept
The Driving Dynamics Control helps to fine-tune
the vehicle's settings and features. Various proj
grams can be selected for this purpose. The Driving Dynamics Control and the DSC OFF butjtons can each be used to activate a program.

Depending on the vehicle load or when a trailer is
used, the vehicle may roll back slightly.
Servotronic
Concept
Servotronic is a speed-dependent power steerj
ing function.
The system provides the steering force with more support at low speeds than at higher ones.
This makes it easier to park, for instance, and
makes steering more direct when driving at faster speeds.
Furthermore, the steering force adapts according
to the driving program, so that a direct, sporty
feel or a comfortable steering response is conj

ACC
Concept
Using this system, a desired speed and a disj
tance to a vehicle ahead can be adjusted using
the buttons on the steering wheel.
The system maintains the desired speed on
clear roads. For this purpose, the vehicle accelerj
ates or brakes automatically.
If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system
adjusts the speed of your vehicle so that the set
distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained. The speed is adjusted as far as the given situation alj
lows.
The distance can be adjusted in several steps.
For safety reasons, it depends on the respective
speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a halt, and then proceeds to drive again within a brief period,
the system is able to detect this within the given
system limits.
General
information Depending on the driving settings, the features
of the cruise control can change in certain areas.
Safety
information
WARNING
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driverss personal judgment in assessing the
traffic situation. Based on the limits of the sysj tem, it cannot independently react to all trafficsituations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch traffic
closely and actively intervene where approprij
ate.
WARNING
An unsecured vehicle can begin to move and
possibly roll away. There is a risk of an accident.
Before exiting, secure the vehicle against rollj
ing.
In order to ensure that the vehicle is secured against rolling away, follow the following:
'xSet the parking brake.'xOn uphill grades or on a downhill slope,
turn the front wheels in the direction of the
curb.'xOn uphill grades or on a downhill slope, also secure the vehicle, for instance with awheel chock.
WARNING
The desired speed can be incorrectly adjusted
or called up by mistake. There is a risk of an acj
cident. Adjust the desired speed to the traffic conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively inj
tervene where appropriate.
