The electronically controlled 
ABS maintains vehicle stability 
and  control during emergency braking  by preventing wheel 
lock-up. 
ABS provides optimum deceleration  and stability dur- 
ing  adverse conditions. It automatically adjusts brake system 
hydraulic pressure  at each wheel to prevent wheel lock-up.

Dynamic  Stability Control (Boscli 
DSC Ill v. 5.7) 
NOJE- 
ASC  (Automatic  Stability Control) may also be referred  to as 
ASCiT (Automatic  Stability ControkTraction). 
ASC works in conjunction  with ABS and the engine manage- 
ment  system  to enhance vehicle control.  The main  function  of 
the 
ASC system is  to maintain  the contact between  the tires 
and the road surface under all driving conditions.  This is 
achieved  through exact application and management  of brak- 
ing and  drivetrain  forces. 
The 
ASC system improves  traction by electronically  applying 
the rear brakes  when the rear drive wheels  are spinning  at a 
faster rate than  the front  wheels.  The combined 
ABSIASC 
control module, operating through the ABS hydraulic  control 
unit, modulates braking  force at the rear  wheels. 
In  addition, 
ASC overrides the  throttle opening  to reduce en- 
gine torque and maintain  vehicle traction. Because the throt- 
tle  is controlled  electronically,  the driver cannot increase 
engine  power output during 
ASC intervention regardless  of 
how  far the accelerator pedal is pushed.

Suspension, Steering and Brakes - ~enerail 
The main components  of the  system  are the wheel speed 
(pulse) sensors, the 
ABSIASC or ABSIDSC control  module, 
and the hydraulic control unit. 
Traction control also comes into operation during  decelera- 
tion. Decelerating on  snowy or icy road surfaces  can lead to 
rear  wheel slip.  If a  rear  wheel starts  to drag  or lock  up, the 
ASC  system can limit the problem  by adjusting  throttle, fuel 
injection and ignition  timing. 
4 A switch  (arrow)  on the  center console is  used to toggle  the 
ASC  on or off. 
NOJE- 
Even  with the ASC system turned off,  if the ASC control mod- 
ule senses  a difference  in wheel  speed  (one wheel  spinning) 
the 
ASC system applies modulated braling force  to  the slip- 
ping  wheel  until traction  is regained.  There is no  override  of 
fuelinjection function. 
The  ASC  system is designed to be maintenance  free. There 
are no adjustments that can be  made. Repair and  trouble- 
shooting of  the ASC system  requires special test equipment 
and knowledge and should  be performed  only by an autho- 
rized 
BMW dealer.

DSC system I 
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) utilizes  many principles and 
components  of the  ASC  traction control  system. DSC is ac- 
tive throughoutthe driving range, unlike  ASC which  is only  ac- 
tive during acceleration and braking.  DSC helps stabilize  the 
vehicle  in cornering and avoidance maneuvers  by adjusting 
engine  controls such  as throttle, ignition, fuel injection and the 
application  of 
brake pressure individually to  the wheels.

4 The DSC  control module  uses various inputs  to determine 
vehicle  instability during braking, cornering,  or reduced trac- 
tion situations. Based upon these inputs the  ABSIDSC con- 
trol module sends outputs to the engine control  module and 
the  ABSIDSC  hydraulic unit to activate torque reduction pro- 
tocols  and braking intervention.

The DSC system  can be toggled on and  off by a switch 
mounted on the center  console. Turning off the  DSC  system 
does  not disable  ABS or ASC functions.
