Press the DSC OFF button for longer than
approx. 1 second; the indicator lamps for DSC
in the instrument cluster light up. Stabilizing
and drive-output promoting actions are no
longer executed.
You may find it useful to briefly deactivate DSC
under the following exceptional circumstances:

When driving uphill on snow-covered roads,
in slush or on unplowed, snow-covered
roads

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

When driving with snow chains

To increase vehicle stability, activate DSC again
as soon as possible.

Activating DSC

Press the DSC OFF button again; the indicator
lamps in the instrument cluster go out.

For better control

If the indicator lamp flashes:
DSC is regulating the drive and brak-
ing forces.
If the indicator lamps are on:
DSC is deactivated.

Electronic Damper Control

EDC*

The concept

Whenever there is a change in any significant
parameter such as road surface quality or in an
operating condition such as steering, braking,
etc., the damping automatically adjusts to the
new conditions in fractions of a second.
You can select between three programs.

"Comfort" program

Select the "Comfort" program if you want com-
fort-oriented control of the shock absorbers.

"Normal" program

The "Normal" program offers control that is bal-
anced between comfort and sportiness.

"Sport" program

Select the "Sport" program if you want consis-
tently sporty control of the shock absorbers.

Selecting a program

Press the EDC button repeatedly:

"Comfort": LED off.

"Normal": one LED lights up.
