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 briefly; the DTC indicator lamp
in the instrument panel lights up.

For better control

The indicator lamp flashes:
DTC controls the drive forces and
brake forces.
The indicator lamps light up:
DTC is activated.

Deactivating DTC

Press the button again; the DTC indicator lamp
in the instrument panel goes out.

xDrive

xDrive is the 4-wheel drive system of your
BMW. The combined effects of xDrive and DSC
further optimize the traction and dynamic driv-
ing characteristics. The 4-wheel drive system
xDrive variably distributes the drive forces to
the front and rear axle depending on the driving
situation and prevailing road conditions.

BMW X6: Dynamic Performance
Control

The concept

Dynamic Performance Control optimizes the
handling characteristics of your BMW when
starting off, cornering, and during evasive
maneuvers. To achieve this, the system variably
distributes the drive torque of the rear axle to
the two rear wheels. This further increases the
steering precision and tracking stability of your
vehicle.

Display

The instrument panel display shows how xDrive
and Dynamic Performance Control are distrib-
uting the drive torque.
