DTC Dynamic Traction Control

DTC is a version of DSC in which the drive out-
put is optimized for particular road conditions,
e.g. unplowed snow-covered roads. The sys-
tem assures the maximal drive output, but with
reduced driving stability. It is therefore neces-
sary to drive with appropriate caution.
You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC
under the following special circumstances:

When driving in sand, on snowy inclines, in
slush or on unplowed, snow-covered road
surfaces

When rocking a stuck vehicle free or start-
ing off in deep snow, sand or on loose
ground

When driving with snow chains

Activating DTC

Press the button: the indicator lamp for DSC
lights up and TRACTION appears in the instru-
ment panel.
